When the Body Remembers - Haifa

"When the Body Remembers" addresses the post-traumatic experience that
occurred following the Nakba and its trans-generational impact, as if it's contagious. The trauma
caused by the Nakba nests under each of our skins and floats on our body planes in the form of
psychological and physical disorders.
What happens to the nervous system after a traumatic event, and how do the respiratory system,
blood circulation, digestive system, joints, and spine react? How does muscle tension and
relaxation occur? And how does all of this relate to the conversation between the mind, soul,
spirit, intuition, instinct, and energy? Choreographer: Shaden Abu El-Assal
