Tümay Kılınçel
we love 2 raqs
- Dance
Based on raqs shari, or oriental dance (aka “belly dance”), “we love 2 raqs” confronts and deconstructs orientalist and colonialist imagery. In this choreographic performance dancers Dina Abdelhafez, The Darvish, Lia Pavlidis, Zadiel Sasmaz, Marilyn Nova White create a collective body of raqs through their interpretation of oriental dance and divergent genres such as tribal fusion, American tribal style, fusion, voguing, baladi and contemporary dance. Kanun player Dima Dawood, percussionist Sultan Kara and singer Leila Moon accompany them with music. After the solo work and HAU co-production “Dansöz”, dancer and choreographer Tümay Kılınçel and dramaturg Berna Kurt now take their raqs collaboration further, recontextualising dance as a feminist, self-empowering practice.

Notes:
Due to delays in construction work at HAU2, this work unfortunately cannot take place there and will be moved to HAU3.
From 15.11.21, the 2G rule for all persons over 18 years of age will also apply at HAU until further notice. We are thus implementing a resolution of the Berlin Senate. You can find our current hygiene concept here. If you have already purchased tickets for an event but do not meet the 2G requirements, we will of course refund the purchase price. Please contact us by email at service@hebbel-am-ufer.de.
Due to an extensive PCR testing regime for SARS-CoV-2, the performers can also move on stage in this production without minimum distance.
