Awsat

Awsat is a 360-short dance film that takes the viewers into a world where woman and goddess were one. Located in the middle of the performance, the viewer is a representation of society that has been witnessing the story of middle eastern women and has a chance to turn the story around by following the movement and poetic experience that shapes the narrative.
