communicates / Together We Walk


Together We Walk takes you on a journey shaped from visual portrayals of human landscapes and composed of digital monoliths, representing fragments of our existence as Lebanese people.

This multi-layered installation of movement, light, and sound paints an intimate picture of a nation driven by human capital and a sense of community. It is an invitation to come in direct contact with the Lebanese and walk alongside and among them—near and far—as they engage in physical dialogue stretched across time and space.

Together We Walk pulses with an intimate energy of grit, while constantly bringing up questions of the self, community, and co-existence that are universal to all.

Seven performers locomote within and between digital monoliths in moments of absurdity and physical comedy, all of which lend themselves to a non-linear storyline.

This experience invites the audience to assemble personal understandings of and relationships to their own existence, depending on which pathways they choose to walk the installation.
