Do you believe me ?

When the revolution in Tunesia started, Hafiz Dhaou together witch Aïcha M’Barek, both essential figures of the Tunesian contemporary dance scene, travelled to Beirut to work on a dance piece that they had been commissioned. A storm broke out inside of him. This is what he felt and what you can see in the performance.


Hey !
Listen to me
Turn back
I am here
No
Look
Here
I love you
Not you
You
Follow me
You are encircled
Wherever I go!
It is a game
I promise
You will die
We all will die
I love you
I love you all
Are you here with me?
Follow me, I am here, right here with you
For how long will this game go on?
Yes
We are caught!
He told me that I understood you
What is this circus?
What am I saying?
You know that I love you
No
Not you
I am dreaming
With my eyes open
Are you here?
Listen to me
Too late
It is over.
