Join Mizna for a film screening of A Night We Held Between (Noor Abed, 2024, 30 minutes), featuring El Funoun, followed by a conversation with Noora Baker (El-Funoun) and Leila and Noelle Awadallah (Body Watani), facilitated by Erin Robideaux Gleeson (FD13).
Saturday, September 12 at 5:00pm
The screening will be followed by TAWASOL Dabke Performance by El Funoun Palestinian Dance Troupe.
El-Funoun’s work merges dynamic dance, storytelling, and audience participation to offer an intimate window into the lives and legacies of El-Funoun’s dancers. Through the voices and movements of five performers, stories of long-time members unfold, tracing cultural roots across generations, from parent to child. More than a performance, this is a living archive of memory, identity, and the enduring spirit of dabke as both resistance and celebration.
Sliding scale fee of $25-$50; nobody will be turned away because of a lack of funds.
The film ticket comes with a promo code for a free ticket to an El-Funoun Performance on Friday or Saturday night at Red Eye Theater.
