La MaMa Umbria presents two young Arabic choreographers at Cantiere Oberdan

The young dancers and choreographers Bassam Abou Diab and Mounir Saeed will perform at Cantiere Oberdan  on Thursday 21 September at 21.30, for Focus young arab choreographers, a project in support of intercultural dialogue, supported by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Tourism in collaboration with 11 Italian partners.

Two performances in an evening.

Under The Flesh by and with Bassam Abou Diab (Lebanon) presents a study focusing on cultures, body, death and rituals. A performance that originated from having lived through war, before and after, and being forced, in the devastation of body and spirit, to use an enormous number of strategies to survive.
Samah Tarabay, percussionist, will accompany him in the performance.

What about Dante by and with Mounir Saeed (Egypt) is a work inspired by the Inferno of Dante’s Divine Comedy, mixed with the spiritualism of Sufism and the musicality of Christian hymns and oriental songs, aiming at a fusion between different cultures’ spirituality.
