Nazar

Lara Kobeissi  |  Performing Arts  |  2022  |  Lebanon
This multi-sensory experience which combines live performance and virtual reality weaves a post-spatial futurity where audiences access the excavated digital dwelling of a virtual folk healer in search of evil eye treatments, passed down from mother to daughter for generations across the Levant. Nazar temporarily hijacks the stage, in a ritualistic act of soft resistance that restores the body, collective memory, and intangible heritage.
