A dancer is on their back with one leg up and arms crossed and extended. They are next to a unique instrument that looks like a speaker with strings over it. There is wood paneling on the walls and a small lamp on the right side.

Leila Awadallah’s duet with a unique, self-playing musical instrument confronts and distorts the tropes of the Arab, feminine body often perceived as a seductive other or used as a threat against the State. The music continuously builds into a drone-like soundscape that drives Awadallah’s experimental Baladi movement. While she moves, she speaks Palestinian stories and reflections on the work’s themes.
