Courage - جُرْأَة | Duration: 22'00''
"SLOW – Slam Our World – combines urban word art with theatre. For each SLOW-session, KVS Brussels welcomes a different international guest. This SLOW #5 is in collaboration with Haven for Artists based in Beirut, Lebanon under the direction of Dayna Ash." - Tundé Adefioye, Dramaturge at KVS.
"In the Middle East staying in the closet, coming out, and the spectrum in-between, are all equally courageous acts. With the social and systemic persecution of LGBTQI individuals, the variables of coming out are not simply based on the response and acceptance of the family and friends; but also, with the fear, intolerance, and violence manifested through formal authorities and informal traditional norms.
The dominating discourse is one that promotes coming out of the closet as the desired goal for LGTBQI individuals, to the exclusion of those, who through a courageous act themselves, do not come out. Their life is not framed by the reality of a closet, instead they use other cultural frameworks to construct their queer reality." - Dayna Ash, Co-Founder of Haven for Artists.
