Dance, Eat and Unite!
Beytna is a unique dance performance around the concept of sharing, where four choreographers and four musicians from Lebanon, Korea, Palestine, Belgium, and Togo come together over a banquet of food. Despite their diverse cultural backgrounds and artistic experiences, they reshape a communal and traditional family reunion into an artistic meeting of dance, music, and cooking.
Witness as they talk, drink, laugh, dance, and eat, transforming this simple gathering into an intricate, captivating performance. Beytna invites you into a world of compassion, and friendship. It is a simple invitation into the home of the other. An invitation to the artist’s profession and choreographic statement, as much as it is to the forms and situations of the past.
