Eslam Elnebishy

 





                        Eslam is a choreographer, dancer, and teacher. Moving between Frankfurt
and                         Cairo — between the physical and the political.

                        For him, the political is not only a subject brought to the stage — it is in how
    stage                     itself works.
                        He engages with personal experience through choreography and dance, but
        finds the             abstract form that holds it, and the body that carries more than it shows.
                        His practice questions representation — what is shown versus what is, and the
distance                                                 between the two.

                        His work moves within a world where certain bodies, certain histories, and certain
        ways                  of knowing have been decided for — and sits with the question of how that
          violence can                         be        seen, felt, and undone.

A body does not always say what it holds. It can carry one thing and show another — not as deception, but as a kind of intelligence.

There is a question that keeps returning:how is this still going?Not asked with anger alone. Asked with something closer to laughter — the laughter that comes when disbelief has nowhere else to go.

The work starts from there. From what was experienced, and what still waits — and the line drawn between them. What has already been said about us, and what we haven't finished saying yet.
It starts with disbelief

                                                                                                         something like a statement
