Insân

Insân, whose title means “human” in Arabic and etymologically “one who forgets”, is a choreography for three performers set on a floor of stone and rubble. The piece interrogates memory and the vertiginous lightness of forgetting: bodies wrench themselves from gravity or sink into it, as if laying down what they carry finally allows them to dance. Beneath the movement, the work evokes the violence of a world that erases its own traces.
