Window Into the Process:
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 remember our sky. To move through grief and rage together in community, so we don’t collapse under its weight.
Wednesday, February 25 at 6:00pm
We want to invite our community to engage with the work in an intimate, interactive window into the creative process. This open rehearsal will feature excerpts of the work, story sharing and invitations to converse with the artists.
Leila Awadallah and Noelle Awadallah are co-Artistic Directors of Body Watani Dance project.
