A Dancer at the Edge of … leads the audience along an obstacle-strewn path towards the creation of a fictional cabaret inspired by the golden age of "sharqi" dance (literally "oriental dance"). Paying tribute to legendary figures such as Tahya Carioca, Nadia Gamal and Dina, the show draws on their styles and movements to compose its own choreographic language.
In this performance, dance and cinema engage in dialogue to the rhythm of an original soundtrack composed by Sary Moussa, which blends archival film music with electronic creations.
On stage, Loulou, a cabaret dancer and the artist's alter ego, grants herself the freedom to dance, to age, to explore and to express herself – all according to her own rules.
