Heroes Surface of a Revolution

Khouloud Yassine

20.00 – 21.00

Sursock Museum

“Heroes- Surface of revolution” questions the body as a medium of influence that is mediatized through the image of itself. Is it power that creates the image within us? Or is it rather we, masses thirsty for leaders, who create and maintain it? How does someone’s body become a symbol of power? How, by the body’s own fall, is the fall of power announced? Heroes become “accessible” and more easily identifiable as their bodies resemble ours more and more. Is this not an illusion?

Living in Beirut adjacent to a highway ramp, a highly enthusiastic filmmaker is in a state of hyper inspiration characterized by an overflow of contrasting ideas.

A’alehom

Alexandre Paulikevitch

20.00 – 21.00

Sursock Museum

“A’alehom” is a solo performance that tells a story of loss, pain, physical abuse and revolt. It is about overcoming obstacles and shedding victimhood. Creating this performance has been a catalyst for life, a motive that kept Alexandre resilient in the face of the current political and socio-economic crisis hitting Lebanon. “A’alehom” was born under layers of stress and melancholy that brought Alexandre close to burnout and surrender. This is exactly why it morphed into a journey of salvation, demonstrating once again the urgency of art creation and proving it to be a life necessity.
