“DABKE” – An Interactive Solo Piece
Where culture, movement, and audience meet.
“DABKE” is a one-hour, interactive solo performance by queer Arab American choreographer and visual artist Fadi Joseph Khoury, celebrating the rich and unapologetic expression of Middle Eastern and Arab heritage through traditional dance, music, and storytelling. Deeply rooted in Fadi’s personal immigrant journey and formative dance training in Lebanon and Iraq, this work embraces the beauty and power of folkloric traditions—particularly Dabke, a social and celebratory line dance shared across the Levant. The audience will have the opportunity to learn Dabke and participate with Fadi on the dance floor.
