GRIEF

In the organizer's words:

A ritual of dance, song, live music and poetic monologues.

By Nora Amin & Momo Djender

With music by Ehab Abdellatif

April 24 & 25, 8 p.m.

Acker Stadt Palast

Encountering death in the body of your spiritual twin and life partner leads to a long-lasting experience of Grief. Life changes forever, your soul and body change forever. You become a place of Grief forever. Your body and your dance become a living ritual of Grief. However, Grief also includes the celebration of life, the preservation of shared memories and the passion to pass on unconquerable love.

GRIEF is a performative ritual that combines the personal experiences of choreographer/performer Nora Amin with her recently acquired expertise as a GRIEF coach. In GRIEF, Nora recreates parts of her grief experience while transforming it into a sensational dance about the victory of love and belonging. Guided by spiritual faith and cultural heritage, she joins forces with world-renowned musician Momo Djender, with whom she shares her roots in the Arab region. While both artists originally belong to a rich tradition of mourning, lamentation, lamentation and mourning between Egypt and Algeria, both invest in their multicultural and nomadic backgrounds to create a contemporary ritual where GRIEF is collectively experienced and participatively embraced with the audience.

One becomes a place of mourning forever. Body and dance become a living ritual of mourning. However, mourning also encompasses the celebration of life, the preservation of shared memories and the passion to pass on invincible love.
