Choreography and Creations
Divide and Conquer
We are born into a world of constant classification, defined in categories by social, community, and political systems. Identities such as gender, nationality, and religion are identities that we all receive from home and the environment in which we grow up, but throughout our lives, we undergo an unceasing journey with them, and in relation to them. Through the bodies and stories of the performers Nur and Saed, we invite you to reflect on the complexity of this journey, which is simultaneously physical and spiritual, material and emotional, personal and collective.

Path of A Cloth
Path of a Cloth is a performative duet by Saed and Doaa, weaving together the tactile presence of fabric with the moving body to create a living dialogue between the two. Emerging from an exploration of connection, dependence, independence, and the emotional and physical distances between them, the piece invites the audience into a deep visual and kinetic voyage through layers of cloth. The performers embark on a shared journey in which identities and relationships are shaped and revealed through the fabric—both seen and unseen—opening questions about the choices we make and the identities we wear.
Performers and co-creators: Saed Mansour and Doaa Bsis

My first creation & Solo. Somehow this piece became a template and essence of many creations to come.
The beginning of this piece started in a creation course of Ayala Frenkel in Hakvutsa school. I was listening to Mahmoud Darwish’s poetry (Palestinian national poet) in an exercise of improvisation and new movement material came out of my body that I never seen before. Material from the depth of my body came out.
A performance about the duality of identity and duality in general. I “Saed” the performer will take myself and the crowd on an emotional journey through my body - embodying the story of the land and the complexity that it holds.
A story about all of us, about violence and fear, about what is underlying in systems of strict control and separation.
