A drama for dancers and voices. Over the centuries, travellers in Egypt have struggled with euphemisms or suggested that they didn't approve of this sensual and essentially feminine form of dance, but stayed to the end all the same...only out of politeness you understand. This small, but perfectly formed navel manoeuvre from Buonaventura and Wright conjures up the legendary performers of the Arab world with an intriguing evening of travel writings and dance, past and present. This is a richly atmospheric work that presents the encounter between East and West with humour, drama and infinite grace.
