Dancing The Art of Weeping

  • Dance Mission Theater (map)

Woven into each evening of performances in El Grito por Thawra الثورة ,  is a projected intermedia installation by renowned, Palestinian visual artist, Mary Hazboun (AKA Mary from Bethlehem). Based in Chicago, Mary’s work highlights the nuanced traumas of women and their resistance against different forms of oppression that is manifested in the military machine, patriarchal societies, and forced migrations.  As part of the Latinx-Palestinian solidarity project, Bay Area Dance choreographers, Leila Mire, Nefertiti Altán and FLACC’s Artistic Director, Liz Duran Boubion will be setting works to the images and vocal narrations by Hazboun. Hazboun will be discussing her collaboration with the FLACC choreographers at the festival and prints will be on sale during the shows.
