RISING

Choreography: Shira Eviatar
Performance: Shira Eviatar, Anat Amrani

In the content of SEAD’s intercultural exchange project Hidden States, the audience in Salzburg is invited to a public showing of Shira’s last work Rising (2016): The work is an encounter of two bodies of knowledge from two different cultures: Yemenite and Moroccan. The dance of celebration is displaced out of its context and set on stage, striped from its ethnic aesthetics, allowing us to compare and contrast the similarities and differences between the two traditions.
