Boka’a El-Gasad

Boka’a El-Gasad means Body-crying in Arabic. In my solo performance art, I delve into the exploration of body-stored trauma that is deeply rooted in history, trauma that we cannot simply rid ourselves of. What does it feel like to have our trauma define our reality? How do unprocessed traumas affect our bodies? In this exploration, I trust the body in its journey to release and express the pain it has accumulated and hidden.
