“Stop Calling Them Dangerous – Love Story Palestine” is the 7th edition of a performance series about war and borders. Concept was created by Yoshiko Chuma, focusing on various themes such as Turkey, Afghanistan, and Yemen. This time, the performance is centered around Palestine, and from the viewpoint of Ryuji Yamaguchi—dance artist and educator based in Jordan for the past 16 years. The performance features stories and video images of numerous Palestinians, including those from Gaza, whom Ryuji has lived alongside. This multimedia performance will incorporate live dance, spoken text, music, and video, as well as the artwork of Dr. Khalid Khreis, “Southern Scream” on display at Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts.
