In a foreign society on familiar land, Nur navigates the tension between Arab-Palestinian and Jewish-Israeli identities.
Her journey is marked by shifts between languages, accents, and identities, as words and movements blur boundaries. Pain accompanies these shifts, along with curses she no longer owns. She reclaims them, teaching the audience their original form in an impromptu Arabic lesson, despite her own incomplete knowledge.
Her dabke, a folkloric dance, undergoes a transformation, blending with European classical ballet. This fusion creates a new movement language, rich in identity and conflict.
As the tension builds, an Arabic version arrangement of the Israeli national anthem amplifies the internal struggle, reflecting the clashing worlds within her, the supremacy and appreciation of her heritag.
