Beirut is a city that has been destroyed many times and always rises again. Choreographer Yara Boustany believes it holds a special strength – a quiet force that never disappears. In her piece “The Valley of Sleep”, she uses dreams, rituals and images to show this power. Through a timeless dance, she connects the past and the present.
Beirut is a city that has crumbled and risen from its ruins time and again. Yara Boustany believes it holds a rare resilience – a quiet force that defies destruction, inscribed in its walls and in the breath of its people which Boustany investigates in “The Valley of Sleep”. To describe the forces that lie hidden in Beirut, she draws on the symbolism of the djinn. She collects dreams, images, symbols and rituals as forms of collective imagination, and weaves them to connect past and present through a timeless dance.
