Badke(remix)
After Badke, there is now Badke(remix). The adaptation of the original dance performance is a reversal of dabke, a Palestinian folk dance. Badke(remix) combines this traditional style with hip hop, capoeira, and circus. Old-fashioned, yet also contemporary.
Badke(remix) tells a story of connection. Where do you still feel at home in a world where everyone is becoming more self-centered? And do you remain connected to each other when everyone increasingly chooses themselves? Badke(remix) is a form of resistance and showcases the life force of the dancers. A way to present themselves authentically, full of expression, without forgetting their roots. Because even though you may feel like you belong nowhere, you do come from somewhere.
More than ten years ago, ten Palestinian dancers toured the world with Badke. But the piece was not created by Palestinians. With Badke(remix), the artistic narrative is in the hands of Palestinian creators Amir Sabra and Ata Khatab. A dance performance with a compelling story that takes you from beginning to end into the dancers' expression.
This performance has no interval.
