In_Visible

Lecture Performance by and with Aya Mansour, Zahraa Ghandour (Iraq) und Modjgan Hashemian (Germany)
 

The German-Iraqi collective lecture performance In_visible addresses the experiences of women in confinement – in a Berlin prison and in the Iraqi society. Labwa Arab plays Dijla (Arabic for Tigris), a young Iraqi lady who was granted to go by bicycle since she was a little girl. The young Dijla takes the audience on her bicycle tour through Iraq and tells the stories of the women she meets on her way. These are authentic stories, written by the Iraqi author Aya Mansour. Modjgan Hashemian combines language with movement. Her dance fuses thoughts and feelings and expresses pain and joy.
