Iraqi Bodies are looking for female performers to re-stage a performance to be presented in November and December 2017 in Gothenburg and Carthage. Iraqi Bodies are also looking for future collaborators and invite performers to a workshop/audition to get acquainted with their work and philosophy of stage art.

For contract availability is required November-December 2017.
To attend please send some lines about yourself to iraqibodies[at]gmail.com

The work of Iraqi Bodies explores the link between movement and gesture, between dance and physical theater. Their artistic practice is deeply anchored in the theory and method of Antonin Artuad, Jerzy Grotowski, Eugenio Ionesco, Samuel Beckett and others. By letting the body speak of the trauma of life and the predicament of man their work wishes to transcend any human differences and instead create scenes to show a reality shared by all. A poetic reality that finds the light in the deepest darkness of life.​
​
​Iraqi Bodies have, over the past seven years, performed at festivals in Denmark, France, Belgium, Holland, South Korea, Italy, Greece, Spain, Serbia, Iran, Lebanon, (Short Stories, Tanec Praha, Kalamata International Dance Festival, Madrid en Danza, BIPOD, Fadjr International Theater Festival, Attakalari India Biennal, LEYMOUN, Festivale Constante Cambiamento, Aerowaves) just to mention a few. In Sweden their performances have been invited to perform at Dansens Hus Stockholm, Inkonst Malmö, Vara Konserthus, Pustervik Teater, among other places.
