the body symphonic
by Charlie Khalil Prince (The Netherlands)
17:00 – Kulturni Center Lojze Bratuž
A solo performance/concert, the body symphonic observes the body as a site of resistance. An engaged body moves through rituals of excavation revealing unbound mythologies and new roots, through which the performer/choreographer finds limitless agency.
Created in response to the multiple political and geopolitical crises in Lebanon, this piece is a meditation on the body’s place struggling against occupation, where looking back, looking in and looking forward become strategies of steadfastness and liberation.
Biography:
Charlie Khalil Prince is a Lebanese dance and performance artist. His interests are rooted in the intersection of the political and the poetic body, and the many profound resonances this creates. His transdisciplinary choreographic works have been presented in several major festivals and theatres across the world.
Notes:
There is a version of this piece without the percussionist, where Charlie produces and manipulates all the sound live on stage.
The artist can also give workshops based on the choreographic and physical practices of the piece.
