Dreamer is a Work in Progress presentation.
Shubbak Festival and BAC present Dreamer, a semi-autobiographical performance of urgent witness about three Black women in Arab society.
Salama, Eman and Juliette. Each a model of possibility, representing the choices and challenges faced by Black women in the Arab World. They are confronted with the weight of invisibility. They assert themselves. They love, hurt, and heal.
Through their interconnected lives, Dreamer reveals what racism, misogyny and xenophobia look like alongside culture, faith and joy. It interrogates regional gender and sexual politics, the friction between modernity and tradition, and the generational conflicts which shape how black women relate to each other and themselves.
Dreamer reflects a varied, textured Black experience that has long been silenced and hidden away.
