Cellophane

Ossama Halal  |  Performing Arts  |  2012  |  Syria
A group of dancers and musicians working with the director are given a series of exercises and personal questions that provoke them into peel away the masks which society superimposes. Whether government authority, family authority or ego, all are part of the struggle as each individual – like a different animal species - attempts to face the dictatorship which, in effect, he/she has contributed to creating. Seeking a new language that can reflect reality behind the masks - a network of visual, motor and musical phrases - can this artistic approach bring us closer to the pulse of reality on the street?
