In a journey towards the moment she began to fear for her freedom, the piece dives into her memories of growing up under occupation, exploring the various realities she lives in, and the fantasies she’s created out of fear and hope in order to survive. As fear overtakes her, her world begins to disintegrate: the floor becomes unstable, and the sounds begin to warp, creating a world where reality and fantasy blur.

Created in conversation with a live score by Samar Haddad King (Artistic Director, YSDT), the soundscape features field recordings taken throughout Palestine since 2010. Accompanied by Wakim’s vocals, the sounds that once caused fear and the sounds that once provided solace become woven together to the point where past and present cloud the future.
