About:

"Tree trunks are solid but a tree’s branches are fragile. Merging solidity and fragility is the secret of its survival–and this balance is how we navigate our world too." Without Damage is a contemporary dance performance that is at once heavily charged and about nothing. It is based on soloist Mohamed Fouad's choreographic research and is a reflection on the navigation of internal and external forces. The piece is also about the commodification of the time that performers spends offering their skills, identity, emotions and body to the audience.
