“Plan B (X)” performance| “Plan B (X)” عرض

Plan B (X) is an artistic collaboration between the choreographers Ziad Salem (Wallace) and Ziad Medhat to create a solo piece performed on stage by Ziad Wallace. The collaborative process extends to the music creation as an integral part of the performance’s dramaturgy through the composition of the Alexandrian musician Ahmed Saleh. The piece expresses the alternation between contradicting states of mind, feelings, emotions, and the panic created by the uncertainty, and the inability to determine and understand one’s own feelings, falling in endless loops of thoughts. Initiated by his memories, the performer revisits the main events on the line of his lifetime, and the situations associated to them. This leads to a revival of confusion of feelings that finds its climax in insensitivity. The performance displays the growth, the artist achieved in a challenging surrounding that complicated his choices. The piece finds its relieve in reaching the moment of clarity, and the final overcoming of the obstacle – after so many attempts. Plan B (X) was developed in the frame of the project „Un|controlled Gestures“. „Un|controlled gestures – 2 Edition“ is an initiative of the Goethe-Institut in cooperation with HAU Hebbel am Ufer Berlin, curated by Nedjma Hadj Benchelabi and Shaymaa Shoukry.
