Bara’em El-Funoun’s dance production Tallat is based on “Zajel”, a CD of folkloric songs, which comes to us from a time of critical markers in Palestinian history and the history of El-Funoun Dance Troupe. The female figure is at the center of its songs, like an echo of the earth, the revolution, the mother and the lover. It takes the audience on a journey towards the inner most language that travels both within them and beyond;a context that reclaims the absent and retrieves the abandoned. It is a group of dances that tells not one story, but all the stories of El Funoun’s Bara’em;stories that havestemmedfrom theirheartsand reached upwards towards the sun. It carries their dreams and feelings, which we believe will push through the dark clouds and give space and light to things that may shine down on us again.
