Jogging

Did you know that running releases dopamine and adrenaline in your body, hormones that are also neurotransmitters whose role is to pass messages between two cells?

In Jogging, Hanane Hajj Ali, a prominent figure on the Lebanese cultural and artistic scene, runs in order to better convey to us her thoughts, dreams, fears and struggle. Fascinated by the character of Medea, she tells us the story of three women with a tragic destiny: Hanane herself, ‘woman, mother, actress, citizen’, but also two other contemporary Medea figures from the Arab world, far from the stereotypes that are usually heaped on them. On stage, she reveals the ‘hushed’ stories of women citizens who are usually silenced, moving from the sacred to the profane, from the sublime to the banal, breaking taboos with surprising simplicity.

At once impassioned and cheerful, a lyrical and bubbling tragedienne, Hanane Hajj Ali, who has seen her country torn apart by incessant wars and crushed by an unprecedented economic crisis, delivers a performance mastered from start to finish in a formidable liberating gesture. An exceptional show.
