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.

For more than 20 years, LAVA-Dansproduktion has been involved in numerous teaching and performance projects in Sweden and various Eastern European countries.

In many of the projects we have collaborated with dance artists, actors and physical performers. By returning regularly to many of the countries where we have been invited to bring our work to, we have built relations and collaborations with dance artists that stretch over many years.
