Seeing Double (2024-6) Multimedia performance, 6-channel sound
“This apocalyptic performance takes place in a bed bathed in pastel light. In this soft, cushioned oasis flows the stream of consciousness of a woman traversed by multiple narratives: that of war destroying the village where her family lives in Lebanon, that of a curiosity for extraterrestrial life forms, and that of a human activist, lover, and dreamer. On her body resting in a lycra bodysuit, countless encounters, fantasies and memories overlap in misty layers. The mundane meets the unspeakable, domesticity, sensuality, and horror. Like a lucid dream, Seeing Double navigates with tenderness between humor and absurdity, fiction and lived experience. An immersive dive into the coexistence of the intimate and the political, it reveals the reflections that glisten between proximities and distances.”
The above quote is from OFFTA festival’s website.
