Saffron

A personal quest for the body as a home.

In an exploration of identity, in a place where the concept of home is constantly threatened; where a body is scrutinized by gender norms and social structures, Saffron is a coming of age story about forming your identity. Palestinian choreographer and dancer Hala Salem takes you through her personal journey using narrative and physical dance.

Paired with Lynn Adib’s ground breaking blend of Arabic folk and electronica, Salem rediscovers her body as a home.

Produced by the Storytelling Centre, with animation by Ghenwa Noiré.
