''Raqs” means dance in Arabic. The title of the piece is intended as a reference to Ravel’s “Pavane pour une infante défunte”. This piece of Ravel has always inspired me with its unique multivalence as if it is both lament and lullaby at the same time. Along the process, I tried to reflect on this inspiration and dreamed a song that evokes such multivalence by blurring the borders of song, dance, childishness, tragedy, peace, hate, love, grief, joy, satire, naive, heavenly, hellish etc.

“Just as none of us is outside or beyond geography, none of us is completely free from the struggle over geography. That struggle is complex and interesting because it is not only about soldiers and cannons but also about ideas, about forms, about images and imaginings.”
-Edward W. Said
