How does the city affect the body? How does it translate into our movements? Let us share with you the stories of Beirut through 7 bodies.

Alterations is a contemporary dance performance developed following an intensive dance workshop featuring 7 young performers and 2 live musicians. It takes you through a journey of physical storytelling on the transformation of Beirut in the past few years where each performer reflects on their lived experience in the city. It takes us on an explorative path where movement is but a vocabulary that emerges from our everyday lives.
