"A FROZEN STREET CHANGED MY WALK" is a Multidisciplinary performance that takes the audience through shifting landscapes of memory. The piece unfolds in fragments of recollections. Of moments awakened by a scent, color, or the rhythm of footsteps.
Crossing borders from Syria to Finland was not just a geographical transition; moving to a country where snow covers the ground for nearly five months per year slowed my pace, altered my balance, and gradually changed the rhythm of my body. This physical shift began to reshape how I move and dance.
This personal experience inspired an exploration of identity, inner monologue, and the way in which cultural heritage lives within the body. It raises a question: What impact do climate, landscape, and living experiences have on our movement?
Through a Self-portraits installation, and a physical theatre performance, the audience is invited into a sentimental journey of flashbacks between memories and streets, where every step carries traces of another place.

Beirut Choreography Encounters

Beirut Physical Lab | Eternity Association:
Beirut Physical Lab (BPL) is a hub for contemporary dance and physical theatre in Beirut, a place for local and international artists to connect, collaborate, and create within a rich, safe creative environment. Born from the need for more opportunities in this field, BPL exists to let artists dive deep into their craft, sustain a livelihood from it, and celebrate our culture and heritage along the way. We believe in the power of movement, and in making the body's role in our lives more visible, accessible, and relatable to all.
We are committed to nurturing the next generation of performing artists through training and performance opportunities. Through our artistic projects, we enrich Beirut's cultural landscape and support performing arts rooted in our own culture, while connecting to the global contemporary scene.
Above all, BPL is building a supportive, collaborative community of physical artists, one where shared experience and collective learning elevate the field of physical art in all its forms.
