Tarek Halaby

An attempt to understand my socio-political disposition through artistic research on personal identity in relationship to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Part One

ABRONS ARTS CENTER EXPERIMENTAL THEATER

An Attempt… is the result of a research process in which Halaby looks into the varying and matching points between collective and personal stories, inside the choreographic creative processes. By presenting this piece as a “product” in process, to finish or resolve, Tarek relates the work to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. In this solo, Halaby questions and explores the ironies and paradoxes of art works with a deliberate political content.
