‘Leila’s Death’ Performance at Al Madina Theatre

“The death of Leila,” a celebration brought to life by a mourner, a dancer and musicians. It is a story whose threads are woven from Ataba song verses, elegies and ululations of women, longing for bodies that have fused with the soil.

The work is based on the celebration of martyrdom and the heroic death, borrowing elements from songs and poetic elegies documenting this cultural heritage, addressing the relation of the body to religion and its metamorphosed rituals.
