In 2017, Catherine Young took her dance company to Palestine. Floating on a Dead Sea is inspired by this experience; the feeling of being lifted and held by the generosity and kindness of a people, in a place where nothing is normal. An immersive and visceral reflection on life in the West Bank prior to the 2023/24 war, interweaving dance, film, live music and text.
Prior to the performance, there will be a screening of Young’s documentary of the same name.
