3 Seasons and a Body

What can we pass on when we have lost everything? Drawing on his memories, Palestinian artist Mohammed Al Qudwa transforms exile into words and pain into movement. Having lived through successive wars in Gaza from childhood into adulthood, he carries with him scattered voices, fractured memories, and the silences of those left behind. Blending theatre, dance, storytelling, and karate, 3 Seasons and a Body creates a theatre of body and language to approach what seems impossible to express. Through words and movement, Mohammed reconstructs a territory of his own: one of shared speech, a body that resists, and a memory that insists on remaining alive.
