Numbness

Rahaf Al-Jaber  |  Performing Arts  |  2022  |  Syria
A movement performance that falls under the genre of physical theater. The performance follows an experimental methodology that attempts to elicit the movement patterns associated with the memory of a body witnessing war, at its realistic and symbolic levels. The performance also discusses psychological instability that turns into numbness that controls our interaction with the external environment, in order to protect ourselves from its effects and variables, a numbness that makes a person satisfied and content with the worst conditions, simply because they feel the threat of experiencing worse conditions.
