Dabke Dance-Workshop

Together with Medhat Aldaabal, Fadi Waked, Moufak Aldoabl, Firas Almassre (dance) and Ali Hasan (music).

The group of Amal invites young and old to dance together: the traditional circle dance is very popular in many variations in the Middle East and combines the enthusiasm and experience of the two Syrian artists with the openness of a cross-generational audience.

“All of the participants were smiling in the end and that was the most beautiful thing. When I see that people are happy, enthusiastic and smiling, then I feel that I am becoming a part of this country, and this country is becoming a part of me.” (Medhat Aldaabal) “It is almost a duty now to give something back, give some of our culture to Germany.” (Ali Hasan)

A program by Sasha Waltz & Guests, “Education & Community”. Funded by the Fellowship “Weltopenes Berlin” of the Senate Administration for Culture & Europe and the residency program “Artists at risk” of the Allianz Kulturstiftung.
