A Different Image of Palestine

© Kurt Van der Elst

Badke(remix) is a remake of the dance performance created by Koen Augustijnen, Rosalba Torres and Hildegard De Vuyst. With 10 Palestinian dancers, Badke toured worldwide between 2013 and 2016. The reissue of Badke is now artistically in Palestinian hands, namely Amir Sabra and Ata Khatab, and becomes Badke(remix).

The title is a conscious reversal of dabke, the name of the Palestinian folk dance and the starting point of the performance. With backgrounds in traditional dabke, contemporary dance, hip-hop, capoeira or circus, the Palestinian performers bring a contemporary version of this dance traditionally reserved for (wedding) parties. Badke(remix) displays a zest for life and passion for dancing as a form of resistance.
