Invisible Walks Across Tahrir Square
This piece is a collaboration between choreographer and sound artist Netta Weiser and performer and writer Nora Amin. The piece revolves around a choreographic poem the artists co-created in a process that combined somatic practice and collaborative writing.
The text unfolds a body memory of Nora: walking across the pedestrian bridge over Tahrir Square in Cairo looking up at her mother’s legs exposed by a short skirt. This childhood memory manifests conditions that have changed considerably since then: The bridge no longer exists, Tahrir Square was the site of the 2011 revolution (in which Amin took a leading part), and short skirts are no longer allowed to be worn in public spaces in Cairo. Amin and Weiser wrote and rewrote this biographical memory finding a shared voice that raises the question: Who owns the memory?
Radio-Choreography: The Egg Dance
Based on a dance action by Berlin-based choreographer Dominique Tegho that took place at “The Egg” – an iconic piece of architecture located in downtown Beirut which served as a gathering place for protestors in the context of the 2019 Lebanese Revolution.
Composition by Azadeh Nilchiani and Netta Weiser, Dance and choreography Dominique Tegho, Field recordings Merijn Royaards.
Radio-Choreography: Lily Greenham
The new season of Radio-Choreography on reboot.fm opens with an episode dedicated to Lily Greenham (1924–2001), a multidisciplinary artist and a leading figure in sound and concrete poetry. The program was created in dialogue with researcher and archivist Ian Stonehouse, who joined us live from London. This special episode is a collaboration with the Badischer Kunstverein and derives from their amazing Lily Greenham exhibition in 2024.
