THE HOLY OBJECTS
What does it mean to be in her shoes, being a woman from another religion, what does it feel, I was lucky to understand it , by joining my jewish Arab friend and choreographer / performer Florence Nasar in her performance piece HOLY OBJECt. It was my first ever performing, which surprisedly was NATURAL for me .. I am considering that for my master school.. seriously … when ever I am ready for that experience.
About the Project Holy Object
Holy Object is a movement based experience analyzing the concept of MEHTZA , or sex segregation in holy spaces. It explores the ways in which women’s voices, bodies and existence in space is affected by ritual and how silence become s ritualized through the creation of both external and internalized boundaries. What does it mean to a distraction, yet holy? The woman as the holy/object. ERASED AND ELEVATED.
