The Valley of Sleep
The performance is inspired by “The Lover of Jinn,” a painting by the Egyptian artist Abdel Hadi Al Gazzar. In interweaving reality and fantasy, “The Valley of Sleep” becomes a performative spell. The jinns steal into the valleys of sleep, wander the landscapes of dreams and then, with a sharp blow, they cast their spell.
