Losing it
Samaa Wakim & Samar Haddad King
Palestine
In Losing it, Samaa Wakim examines her Palestinian condition through the memory traces left by war. In this choreographic narrative, carried by the live music of Samar Haddad King, memories collide, erode, and reassemble. An intense stage experience in which the body becomes the living memory of traumas passed down from generation to generation.
With her first solo creation, the Palestinian choreographer uses dance to question what it means to grow up in a war zone, constantly shaped by politics and violence. She revisits the imaginary worlds of childhood — those refuges invented to escape fear — until the boundary between reality and fiction dissolves, in a space where sounds, voices, and gestures merge.
Between Samar Haddad King’s music and Samaa Wakim’s words and movements, a dialogue unfolds: one between past and present that haunts the future, the dialogue of a body that remembers in spite of itself.
