"لوته" (Louteh): a performance show that celebrates the complexity of the queer Arab identity through dance, video & drag.About this Event
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Skkandaloza is a Lebanese queer interdisciplinary performance artist, based in Tiohtià:ke (Montreal).
As a queer arab individual, they express through their work a reaction
to present contemporary issues in the world and their personal life. They define their
practice by creating live performances accompanied by heavily charged hyperpop, and
camp visuals: creating a euphoric experience for anyone to dive in. They work with
movement as a medium to requestion and redefine the notion of the queer body through
the exploration of gender and sexuality and drag.
"لوته" (Louteh)
is a show I have been developing for the two years that talks about my experiences of
growing up queer in Lebanon. I explore through performance, video and
dance the different challenges facing the LGBTQIA + Community in Lebanon but also
celebrate it through a persona I developed called Skkandaloza. Being an Arab Queer
individual has a lot more compromises and negotiations we need to sacrafice for our own safety.
This performance is divided into 3 acts: Politics, Sex&Religion and Drag.
TW: This Performance evokes themes of Religion & Self-Harm.
