_____________________________________________________
Dance is not for Us is a solo creation choreographed and performed by Omar Rajeh, who takes us into his dance and autobiographical universe, looking into the ‘performance’ as an act of gathering and shared experience. The dancing body creates its own rules, its own structure, and its own inspirations, as an act of hope, in opposition to structures of power that diminish such dynamics towards an act of normality and fear.
Omar Rajeh travels back into the past. Alone onstage, he dances and speaks of an intimate past that exists no more; of a fading image, and a deceiving one as well. A past that did not transfer into a future.
The images, the meanings, the feelings, the people, the happy moments, everything is frozen - as if, today, he deals with a World that has no past.
