Description
This performance serves as a multisensory ritual of awakening, a manifesto of emancipation that connects the past to the present through the female voice, as an act of resistance and survival.
Revolving around poems by women from South Asia and the Middle East who dared to speak out in regimes of silence, this piece brings together poetry, the body, and image. Each verse turns into a gesture, each pause into a shadow, and each breath into a whisper that requests space and light.
Through the blend of performance art, original music, scenography, and technology, the production Is It Written? Maktoub highlights the female experience as a universal narrative – timeless, bold, lyrical. The female performer’s body becomes a field of memory and metamorphosis: it challenges itself against the past, questions tradition, and creates space for freedom. Through marginalization and repression, a new figure is born – not a victim; a storyteller, a flame. Is it written? Or is it perhaps time we rewrote it?
