PAESAGGIO UMANO

led by Emily Jacir, Andrea De Siena, Laura Esposito and Luca Rossi



In September 2022, a group of professional dancers and musicians who had previously attended workshops over the years at Dar Jacir created new work related to land, farming, agriculture and memory. Their research was presented in the form of a movement, a gesture, a picture, a poem, a memory, an interview and elders from a village singing a song about the earth. After sharing their research, they built together a new dance piece and an original music score. This work is dedicated to Moataz Zawahreh who was killed by Israeli snipers on October 13, 2015 while at a protest in front of Dar Jacir. Many in the workshop knew him and footage was shared of his body being carried through the terraces of Dar Jacir immediately after he was shot, in the hopes of getting him to a hospital in time.
