Badke(remix)

The performance in brief

In Badke(remix), Palestinian dancers come together in an energetic performance in which tradition, celebration and resistance are constantly intertwined.

Tradition gets a new form

The Palestinian folk dance dabke is the starting point, but it does not stay neatly in place. Hip-hop, contemporary dance, capoeira and circus pull the dance in all directions. The group moves as one body, stomping and rhythmic, full of collective energy. But beneath the party, tensions remain palpable. Expectations, social control and everyday violence always permeate what happens on stage.

Dancing as resistance

Led by Amir Sabra and Ata Khatab, Badke(remix) takes on a new form in Palestinian hands. The performance celebrates connectedness, dance spirit and a sense of belonging somewhere, while beneath the party, another reality remains constantly palpable. But in the end, one thought prevails: we dance until we drop.
