As Light as a Feather خُف الريشة

(Upcoming Creation)

A crow’s characteristics and a human body merge to interrogate death, it’s myths &
influences, tackling the audience with the mysteries that surround it. Why hold back
from an urge move and to face death? Why burden your heart with denial?
As light as a feather is a duo performance. Between a musician and a performer on
stage, sometimes possessed by an incorruptible crow, sometimes reciting a text
that unveils a lot of secrets. A crow that is not ashamed to ridicule death speaks of
no legends, but pay respects to death as ritual. The story shifts to bodily
understanding of death, to all that is missing and uncertain conclusions, searching
for one one another, body to body and body to death, to lean and perhaps to cry
and to lose all means of strength.
In divine texts, the first rite was established for human being to bring together dead
bodies and how to deal with them. Then came up the crow, as a guide and a
witness to the confusion.
