TBA:09 LECTURE
An attempt to understand my socio-political disposition through artistic research on personal identity in relationship to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Part One
by Tarek Halaby
Lecture/Performance
"Halaby wants to stand up for the Palestinian cause, but every attempt to confront the audience with flash lights or a megaphone fails due to his own lack of commitment. This failure, full of personal vulnerability, has seldom been this clever and funny."
—De Morgen
An attempt... is the result of a research process in which Halaby looks into the varying and matching points between collective and personal stories inside the choreographic creative processes. By presenting this piece as a "product" in process, to finish or resolve, Halaby relates the work to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and he questions and explores the ironies and paradoxes of art works with a deliberate political content.
