Walls of Hasra حيطان الحسرة

Solo Performance by Ahmad Baba

Dance / Multimedia Performance

Sprache: english & arabic

‍

Walls of Hasra حيطان الحسرة explores grief through architectural memory, treating walls as living archives of loss. Drawing from mourning rituals and practices of inscription in the Levant, the performance reflects on how trauma is expressed through marks, writings, graffiti, and visual traces on urban surfaces. These inscriptions become a shared language of sorrow, existing between personal grief and collective memory. At the center of the work is Hasra—a term that resists direct translation, describing a deep, persistent state of longing, regret, and unresolved grief. Moving between Beirut and Berlin, the piece engages with migration, war, displacement, and the censorship or erasure of grief, questioning how mourning is regulated, silenced, or made visible in different contexts. It asks what happens when there are no walls left to hold grief, and how sorrow persists across bodies, cities, and borders.Artist Biography: Ahmad Baba is a multidisciplinary performance artist working across dance, video, sound, and body-based practices. He holds a BA in Performance and Theatre and an MA in Dance Movement Therapy. His work explores liminality, migration, exile, memory, and the politics of the body. As a queer migrant artist, he creates performances and installations that investigate how social, political, and spatial forces shape embodiment, often working with collective and ritualized practices to open spaces of presence, reflection, and alternative ways of being.
