Presentation

A real poetic tour de force, Carol Sansour’s performance travels through the many experiences in the life of a woman, between solitude and social life, motherhood and childhood memories, politics and everyday life, with always the awareness of being a Palestinian woman. “I could bite the sun/To stop the fire within me from dying/I could swallow a stormy sea/To stop my anger from ebbing/I’ll grasp every single mean I can/To see you without restriction.”
