The Love Behind My Eyes
نوم الغزلان
Dance
The unseen and the unspeakable drive the undulating movements of this show, danced in the footsteps of the love of Mohamed Bin Daoud and Mohamed Bin Jamea – a forbidden idyll that falls within the myths of Arab tradition. While not being written, they remain in our memories: "One day, coming out of the hammam, Ben Jamea looked at his own reflection in the mirror and was pleased with his beauty, so much so, that he veiled his face and went to Bin Daoud. Upon seeing him, Bin Daoud asked him the reason for his attire.
Bin Jamea replied: “I took sight of my reflection and wanted your eyes to be the first to see such beauty.
Bin Daoud took into his eyes all the splendor and fell deep into a love that consumed him till his last."
Ali Chahrour extracts from the hell of these poetic taboos, a choreography for two dancers that fixes them forever in time and space.
A free round-trip shuttle is available. Reservations required. Departure from Geneva bus station at 7:25 pm (schedule subject to change).
On Sunday 10 September at 12:00 there will be a brunch and discussion on the impact of theatre in Lebanon, with Michel Abou Khalil, Ali Chahrour, Issam Bou Khaled and Nivine Kallas.
