Out Of My Hands

In this transporting story, a fusion of theatre, dance, and music, Out of My Hands unpicks the raw emotions of a mother as she realizes that her son has changed the world. She stands at the beginning of a psychological journey to the unknown. A journey in which she discovers that her strength lies hidden in her capacity to turn fragility into a form of resilience.

The performer, Khadija Massaoudi joins forces with experimental breakdancer/choreographer Simon Bus. Together they examine the unconventional story of a mother and son who must both confront the core of their broken identities. The characteristic distorted and sculptural movement signature of Bas together with Massaoudi’s well-known expressive approach to text provides the creative foundation from which the mother finds a way to establish a new reality.

An ode to the grace of the human psyche.

Within the set design of light, Massaoudi and Bas interpret the relentless twists and turns of their elusive past: a shattering choreography that reflects a lost future and the alienating logic of the present moment. Her thought provokes his musicality, his movement her emotions. Together they uncover a small fragment of light in which to heal.
