A Video of the Circus Performance of "Hudud Amr" by the Palestinian Circus School, 2014

A video clip documenting the performance of "Hudud Amr" [B Orders], a circus performance produced by the Palestinian Circus School, 2014. The performance is described as follows: " In the wombs of our mothers, we are all made up of the same elements, blood, flesh and air. Arriving into our families and into our societies, we start developing our character and becoming the people we are today. As we grow, we lose our innocence and our fun to play, we become dominant and dominated. We start walking on lines drawn for us without questioning or understanding why. If those lines no longer exist, we unconsciously return to walk on them. We are put in moulds fabricated through the accumulation of history according to our gender, religion, and nationality. Repetition and pressure lead us to go against the "normal", we leave our home aiming to start something new. But do we ever get rid of our memories, education and preconceived ideas?" Directed and performed by Ashtar Muallem and Fady Zamrad.  Technical support by Julianna Naif, Iman Awn, Mathew Daisen Rafael.  Tech: 'Alaa' Jayyusy and Ramzy aby Diyya. Music by Ramy Washaha. Lighting by Ralph Noon. Costumes by Fayruz Nastas.
