Heroes – Surface of a Revolution

Heroes – Surface of a Revolution explores the body as a means of influence, mediated and publicized through its own image. Do we as individuals, through our collective search of leadership figures, create and maintain it? How does the body become a symbol of power? How does the body’s own collapse announce the breakdown of power?

The performance is taking place on the Sursock Museum esplanade.

Heroes – Surface of a Revolution is part of the TERDAD 2021 festival taking place over the course of three days from July 2 until July 4 2021. Created by UNESCO under “Li Beirut”, its flagship initiative for the city recovery, TERDAD unites five local cultural associations: Metropolis Art Cinema, Zoukak Theatre Company and Cultural Association, Maqamat, Irtijal Festival, and Samandal Comics that received urgent financial support and training. The full program is available here.
