Experience the profound exploration of physical and psychological barriers by "INLET" at the Apollo Theater in Syros, Greece, as part of the Akropoditi Dancefest on July 13th at 9:30. Delving deep into the human experience in the face of obstacles, this performance promises to be a thought-provoking journey. Supported by Kultur | lx – Arts Council Luxembourg, join us for an evening of reflection and artistic expression.

Saeed Hani, a choreographer, and his international dance ensemble in their performance “Inlet” explore the multifaceted role of walls and borders in human history and contemporary society. Reflecting on personal experiences growing up in the Middle East, Hani questions the glorification of walls and borders, pondering their hindrance to human progress and the right to a free life. Drawing inspiration from the legend of Rome’s founding, where a wall marks a violent beginning, Hani delves into the deeper implications of these barriers. Through his performances, Hani transcends mere dance, aiming to evoke a profound portrayal of human experiences, often employing nudity to offer a pure and unadulterated expression. Preferring to label his work as “Movement Art”, Hani aims to exceed the confines of traditional contemporary dance. “Inlet” seeks to convey not only physical and metaphorical barriers but also a longing for a world devoid of divisions, resonating with Hani’s personal quest for a unified, peaceful coexistence among humanity.
