Iskandar Dance Companys new production celebrates the powerful integration of shaabi (traditional folk), contemporary dance and theatre. Through the progressive form of Hilal Dance. El Saqiyeh, meaning The Waterwheel, symbolizes the cycles and continuity of life and connection to the earth. The dancers speak a tale of unity and cohesion with a spiralling language of physically carved calligraphy that gracefully traverses the space revealing pure movement aesthetic, serenity and soul. International dancer & choreographer, Alessandro Bascioni in El Saqiyeh, he is accompanied by three dancers and the renowned percussionist, Ibrahim El Minyawi with the rich music of Les Musiciens du Nil. These performers come together in intricate play of movements, melody and rhythms showing an underling sense of power through unity: energetic balance of both control and surrender.
