After every shortcoming, one must repent. Again and again.
In an attempt to shed her past wrongdoings in Trance, Aya Nadera Zantout will dissect repentance, word by word, then build it back up, word by word. Taking place over the course of a full day, the durational performance will act as an extension of her work on repetitive processes in spirituality, this time inviting onlookers into the normally private practice.
