Three dancers from the Middle East, each with their own unique background and perspective, explore the themes of freedom and hope in both personal and national contexts.

The evening begins with a dance performance and continues with a picnic, accompanied by live music and traditional Middle Eastern food freshly prepared by the dancers. The audience is invited to dance DABKE, a Middle Eastern folklore dance, together and experience positive energy through breathing exercises.

For „The Freedom Picnick“, the theatre hall is transformed into an experimental social dance arena, breaking with the traditional stage-and-audience model. Nir de Volff, Medhat Adaabal and Mouafak Aldoabl facilitate an open dialogue and listening space, fostering empathy and sensitivity.
