Muhanad Rasheed Iraqis Bodies (Nombre corporativo)

Two and a half years ago the Baghdad-native fled to Jordan, then to Syria before settling in Amsterdam last year. He came to Europe to perform with fellow dancers, Duarid Abaas and Ammar Muraje. The trio won the Jury Prize at the 2007 Theatre Festival in Jordan. They use a mélange of experimental movements to depict the violence on the streets in Iraq. In every show 'something new and something special' is evoked. This year, Iraqi Bodies will embark on a tour throughout Europe and then back to the Middle East. In addition, the dancers are the subject of an upcoming documentary slated for completion in September 2009. http://www.krachtvancultuur.nl/en/current/2009/january/iraqi_bodies
