Motion, light, sound, perspective, and dimension weave into one mind-bending performance!

The title for “Crossing” came from choreographer Abd Al Hadi Abunahleh’s reflection of art and life, in the time of pandemic. To Abunahleh, the post COVID-19 world visualized itself as an exciting yet confusing labyrinth, of paths appearing and disappearing, vanishing completely, and new passageways opening up.

The process of making this piece can be understood as a laboratory phase, built on the research Abunahleh undertook over the past several years working with both trained and untrained dancers, as an anti-hierarchical, anti-authoritarian choreographic movement designed for the general public and requires no dance training.

Additionally, sound artists Ziad Sajdi, and Oday Shwagfeh created a powerful and driving score that provides the perfect energetic accompaniment to Abunahleh’s choreography.
