Ouroboros

Ouroboros is an interactive, evening-length, theatrical solo dance presented in the round that resurrects and centers the ancient healing symbol of Ouroboros. The performance weaves personal storytelling, contemporary and Middle Eastern dance, cabaret-style song, and finger cymbal/zill play through English, German, Turkish, and ASL, inviting audience participation. Ouroboros takes the audience on a journey of memory, place, and paradox. It explores the cyclical and entrapping nature of time and culture, the lost history and continued relevance of embodying nature in the form of the snake dance, embodied feminine wisdom of the past and present, and society’s relationship to dance and language.
