A double bill from two internationally-acclaimed dance artists. Created in response to the political and geopolitical crises in Lebanon, the body symphonic is a meditation on the body's place in the struggle against occupation. Lebanese dancer, choreographer and musician Charlie Khalil Prince transforms the stage into a space of resistance in a magnetic solo performance, where the body asserts its agency against erasure. At once a concert and a choreographic offering, the work blurs the line between dance and music; gestures generate sound, while rhythms from virtuoso percussionist Joss Turnbull give rise to movement. Prince draws from both contemporary and folk dances, allowing traditions to fracture and reconfigure into new mythologies. Mouton Noir (Black Sheep) is a solo dance piece exploring the tension between individuality and conformity in a norm-driven society, told through Senegalese dancer Amadou Diop's signature blend of contemporary dance and hip-hop. Using the symbolic figure of the "black sheep," Diop questions the place of those who refuse to follow the herd, risking exclusion while asserting the freedom to be.
