Alia Hamdan
The body is here, off screen
On November 19 & 20, 2024 at 7pm
Alkantara Festival
Alia Hamdan’s performance, The body is here, off screen, explores the freezing of time following the Beirut port explosion in 2020, where a young woman is injured and goes into a coma. The performance traces the experience of her mother made worse by the current Israeli attacks on Lebanon. Throughout, Alia addresses the shift in Lebanese politics towards a state of status quo, collapse, and entropic degradation. You can read more about Alia’s project at Alkantara Festival here.
