PAST
March 8th & 9th
COSMOS
Guest Artist: Ashtar Muallem
In this funny and moving show, Ashtar Muallem illustrates her life’s journey and her relationships with her countries, body, and spirituality. Her physical contortions mirror her dual life between two countries, cultures, and languages; between solitude and togetherness.
​
As a Palestinian born in Jerusalem who also lives in France, she navigates between Palestine and France in search of equilibrium and comfort in both. Inspired by Jerusalem and cherished memories of her grandmother, she seeks a connection with the Divine through yoga, meditation, and online tarot readings.
​
Ashtar synthesizes these experiences into a ceremony performed with poetry and humor. As she balances her life’s contradictions, her personal narrative merges with universal stories, and she reveals the beauty of interconnectedness.
Awalem will be performed in English.​
