Nivine Kallas explores the resonances and points of tension between gesture and word, in a dance that dialogues with the Arabic language, its script, rhythm, inflections and silences. Rooted in a childhood marked by absence and silence in the Lebanese education system, the piece revisits the image of a classroom window through which the mind escaped while the body remained confined.

Nivine Kallas explora as ressonâncias e os pontos de tensão entre o gesto e a palavra. A sua dança dialoga com a língua árabe, a sua grafia e o seu ritmo, as suas inflexões e os seus silêncios. SāHO é fruto da sua experiência no sistema educativo libanês, onde a língua e a disciplina deixam marcas duradouras tanto no corpo como na memória. Enraizada numa infância marcada pela ausência e pelo silêncio, a peça retoma uma imagem recorrente: uma janela de sala de aula através da qual a mente fugia enquanto o corpo permanecia confinado. 12 € - bilhetes.
