HIGHLIGHTS: JOGGING

In Jogging, playwright Hanane Hajj Ali presents the stories of four women from the Arab world in a powerful ode against prejudice and stereotypes.

Hanane delves into the politics and imagery of her native country, Lebanon, through her daily jogging routine and the figure of Medea. She gets on stage wearing black, stretches and prepares herself in front of the audience. Then, she becomes one with Medea. The ancient figure against the contemporary one, the one who killed her children and the one who sacrifices them in wars in the Middle East.

Both humorous and dark, Hanane Hajj Ali draws inspiration from her life as a woman, a mother, an actress, and a citizen. She runs everyday through the streets of Beirut to ward off stress and depression. Little by little, her daily jog become a journey into the depths of her dreams, her deepest fears, and her homeland. A powerful, tender and intimate show.
