Empty City – A Dance Odyssey

Empty City is inspired by the mysterious City of the Dead, an ancient necropolis in the centre of modern Cairo. There, tombs and mausoleums that once served as final resting places have been transformed into houses that the living and the dead now inhabit together in a bizarre way.

In Aly Khamees' second full-length piece, seven dancers bring their own stories to the table and create a performance that celebrates resilience, cohesion and the transformative power of community. A universal story about the human spirit that survives and thrives even in the most difficult of circumstances.
