Aïe Dance a solo performance by Deborah Phares

Deborah is a copywriter who graduated from Académie Libanaise des Beaux Arts (ALBA), where she has been teaching for the last 6 years in addition to lecturing at the Lebanese University.

She dabbles in illustration, interactive installation, photography, object design, as well as other disciplines. Her “Madmozél” character – now in its 3rd year of weekly running in l’Orient le Jour – has become a staple of social satire for a devoted audience.

Never too far from the theatre and its ramifications, she played in almost a dozen plays, attended several workshops, and even facilitated other workshops and directed several stage events with teenagers.

She has been fascinated with dance since childhood, but a series of complications have forced her to stop training and practicing for 13 years. Now she is back and invites you to explore – in her very personal universe – the theme of the invisible pain, which inhabits the body of the dancer.

“Aïe Dance” is a solo performance, which intermingles personal stories, classical ballet, contemporary dance, oriental dance and contortions.
