To Break Free is To Be by Maher Abdul Moaty is a compelling dance performance seamlessly blending the power of language with the dynamic artistry of movement, exploring the intricate relationship between dance and politics. This 50-minute showcase unfolds as a live, improvised composition, bringing authenticity and dynamism to every moment.
Let the words remain silent to let the body speak. In the frame of dance and politics, the power of the words side by side with the power of movement is handled to demonstrate the invisible borders that chain the dream and hope of our times. One body movement can represent hundreds of words, and one word can move hundreds of bodies. Movement is the language of the body, through which silence can speak even when one is speechless.
The choreography beautifully reflects a fusion of cultural backgrounds, providing a captivating experience celebrating the beauty and quality of diversity. More than just a dance performance, To Break Free is To Be is a jubilant celebration of collaboration, intercultural dialogue and artistic expression.
