Hanging

 A thin line of light cut through the space from left to right, dividing the stage into halves, darkness and light, Sky and Earth, youth and elderliness.​
The performance unfolds itself through light and bodies, revealing the story of a grandmother on the threshold of death and her granddaughter who is taking care of her. Two abandoned characters, two generations, stuck on a transitional loop of passing away, passing by, passing in, and passing off.
Hanging is a movement performance that explores the ecstasy of being hanged in-between places. When the transition state turnes into a permanent way of living, and when waiting becomes a virtue. The performance tries to articulate the shape of this undefined place, reflecting by that, on the state of being in a city like Damascus during the year 2019.
