2025 State of Play Festival: Leila Awadallah - shuhada alive-streamed un-ceased FIRE
About
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.
