“Night” is a dance concert directed and choreographed by Ali Chahrour, the  approach and esthetics of this show draw their inspiration from the dense archive of love and romance in classical Arabic poetry and from contemporary stories of lovers and their cruel separation.

This work references stories from the cultural memory of the Levant and Mesopotamia among others, about the fate of lovers who challenged social and religious systems, and whose bodies were punished and sentenced to suffer the distance of separation as well as the hope of impossible reunions.
