SUBJECT TO / خضوع (Trailer) Mehdi Dahkan "Frankfurt Moves!" 2023 Does physical silence imply that the inner state is calm? Can the body conceal the chaos created by desire? Did the Arab Spring come out of nowhere or was it preceded by modes of social and political action that might have escaped the dominant conceptual frameworks? In the contrast between the inner chaos created by desire and the physical silence imposed by fear, one finds oneself in a situation of impasse. In this solo performance, Mehdi Dahkan explores the power of silence as a tool of resistance. In a society filled with noise, constant stimulation and the incessant need to be heard at all times, silence reveals its transformative power by enabling the transmission of subtle nuances, unexpressed emotions and hidden meanings.
