Imagine walking, though this is not your average leisurely stroll. You cannot walk in a straight line. You brush or bump into at least 10 shoulders within one block. You keep your eyes on the ground to avoid angry glares and your arms crossed to hide your body. You make every effort to be invisible, simply because you cannot deal with the streets. This may not be your average leisurely stroll, but it is likely your typical walk through downtown Cairo. And while many Cairenes rarely stop to question why the public sphere has become increasingly riddled with human hurdles, a group of young Lebanese and Egyptian artists recently took to the streets to determine exactly that. Cue, “Cairography” a video-dance project that seeks to better understand and test the limits of the body’s ability to confront restrictions on Egyptian streets. Written and directed by Lebanese artists, Dalia Naous and Kinda Hassan, “Cairography” is something of a crossbreed between performing arts and research, impregnated with a deep sense of reflection. ... “The idea came about while I was living in Cairo in 2010,” explains Naous. “Hassan was also here for a long stay, and we found ourselves getting into many discussions about how our relationship with our own body was changing due to the daily pressures faced on Cairo’s streets.” With a Master’s degree in Contemporary Dance, and a PhD on the way, Naous wanted to experiment and encapsulate these questions within a performance of some sort. Together with Hassan, who holds a Master’s in Fine Arts and specialization in Video Art, the two began laying down the initial foundation for a research-based video-dance project. “We wanted to better understand the limitations of our body in Cairo,” explains Hassan. “Are these limits real or theoretical? Are they breakable? How far can we push these limits? We wanted to question the visible and invisible boundaries between public and the private spaces in Cairo.”
