One night only: After the Last Red Sky (2024) is a dance performance and ritual gathering to hold the weight of—and imagine healing for—the Palestinian sky. A sky where violence hovers and falls on Palestinian bodies. A sky carrying a folk belief of a whale eating the lunar-eclipsing moon. A blood-red sky. In this work we ask what it means to dig down into the rubble of decades of attacks on Palestinian Aliveness to re-member our sky. To move through grief and rage together in community, so we don’t collapse under its weight.

Tickets are $10-$50 or pay-as-able day of.
This work is created by Body Watani Dance Project with a village of collaborators, and originally premiered in November 2024 at the Southern Theater. We are reviving the work to share once again with our Twin Cities community—for one night only—before we go on tour.
