Description

The performance Her Veils weaves its dramaturgy through poetic voices and narratives of women from the Middle East, intertwining them with myths, rituals, and folk traditions of the West. At the core of the composition lies female corporeality, not as a representation, but as a living field upon which historical and social inscriptions are imprinted.

The veil emerges as a symbol open to multiple interpretations: at times it protects, at times it conceals; at times it separates, and at others it reveals. Upon its delicate surface collide desire and prohibition, visibility and disappearance, the allure of revelation and the violence of concealment.

The voice and musical compositions of Savina Yannatou and Primavera en Salonico meet the visually driven directorial approach of Maria Lappa in a performance where the female voice becomes supplication, whisper, prayer, and cry. Through this encounter, worlds are illuminated in which the body is transformed into a monument, a site of resistance, and a space of transformation.
