Simona Abdallah
Simona, born in 1979 in Germany to Palestinian parents, grew up in Aarhus, Denmark. A self-taught percussionist, she specializes in the Darbuka, fusing Arabic rhythms with House, Electronica, and World music.
As the first female musician of Arabic descent to gain international acclaim with the Darbuka, Simona defies traditional gender norms. Despite facing challenges, she remains committed to her dreams.
The Darvish
The Darvish is a self taught dancer, and has been working in the European independent performance art scene for the past 8 years. After emigrating from Syria to Berlin, Germany in 2016, they began exploring gender identities through artistic expression, and further questioning the relationship between social boundaries and performance art.
The Darvish is an avid queer activist, taking part in panels, giving speeches and using their performance of belly dance to decolonise the western view on Arabic culture and belly dance itself.
