Artistic Residency
Performance
The Smell of Musk
This is a multi-media performance project between visual artist Abdalla Al Omari (Syria/Belgium)and dance artist Benno Voorham (Sweden/Netherlands).
The Smell of Musk can be characterized as a documentary performance. A work that is compelling in the way that it addresses some of the most difficult things we can speak about: the impact of war on the individual and more specifically on the lives and experiences of children.
This performance includes an artistic residency which aims to develop stories that allow dance and visual art to speak about the world we live in, in a poetic and imaginative way.
