about

Yara Boustany is a performer and choreographer
born in Ghbeleh, Lebanon. Her interdisciplinary work searches for potential
sensorial stimuli that can direct humans to unexplored territories of existence
- she looks for enchantment and disturbance. She draws on imagination and improvisation to create from
the infinite potential of the body and voice freed from convention, and plays
with a multitude of visuals, light sources and soundscapes to create unusual
realms. She has toured with her shows notably in Lebanon
and Beirut, and also in Cairo, Stuttgart, Ankara, Warsaw, London, Machester,
Liverpool, Chalon sur Saône, Die and Athens. She is the founder and director of
