SUMMARY:Khalil Khalil at PuSh International Performing Arts Festival
DESCRIPTION:How does a name shape a destiny? \nKhalil Albatran was named for his brother\, a martyr of the First Palestinian Intifada. In a family where the name carries both honour and grief\, he has lived as a continuation of another life—one that ended before his began. Through movement and music\, Khalil Khalil becomes a dialogue between presence and absence. The artist places his body in direct conversation with memory\, confronting what it means to live as both an echo and an original. Each movement negotiates the distance between what is remembered and what is alive now. Beyond one man’s story\, the work opens a window onto a shared experience for many who bear the names of the fallen. A performance in which the artist confronts an existential question: can a body exist beyond the history it inherits?

SUMMARY:Eight Short Compositions on the Lives of Ukrainians for a Western Audience
DESCRIPTION:In Eight Short Compositions on the Lives of Ukrainians for a Western Audience\, the political becomes profoundly personal. \nDrawn from the words of Ukrainian playwright Anastasiia Kosodii\, this delicate yet piercing work meditates on the ordinary moments that fracture under the weight of war—boiling water\, harvesting fruit\, sleeping in one’s own bed. \nAcross languages and borders\, five performers gather to honour the small acts of living that survive in the shadow of war. Through text projection\, music\, movement\, and light\, they weave a collective reflection on distance\, empathy\, and responsibility—how to stand beside those whose lives are under siege. In its quiet sincerity\, the piece invites us to listen: to the grain of a voice\, the tremor of solidarity\, the fragile beauty of life persisting against the noise of devastation.
