Through dance and physical expression, the performer explores his own love for his homeland, attempting to reconcile patriotism with disappointment, while seeking a balance between the light of hope and the darkness of repression. The performance highlights the performer\u2019s deep connection to memories of the Egyptian revolution and demonstrates the power of hope. Poetic and passionate, MANEATER combines intricate physical performance, Egyptian folk dance, and an openly romantic tone in celebrating a love for Egypt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choreography and concept : Hazem Header \/ Music design and composer : Sahba Aminikia \/ Video research and editing : Mary Nabil and Ahmed El Attar \/ Photo : Dmitrii Makhonin \/ Poster : Farah Khalaf \/ Special thanks to: Nermine Saaid, Axel Satg\u00e9, Zvonimir Dobrovi\u0107 \/ Production : N\u00dcT Dance Company (NDC), Domino<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Hazem Header<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an Egyptian contemporary dancer and choreographer.
