January 29, 2020, Wednesday - Jogging opens at Guthrie Theater
Time: 7:30pm
Location: Guthrie Theater, 818 2nd Street S
conceived and performed by Hanane Hajj Ali
January 29 - February 2
A conceptually adventurous exploration of place, identity and mythology, Jogging is gloriously unpredictable and presents a radical challenge to the stereotypes and prejudices that afflict global perceptions of Arab women. The story is told through the eyes of Hajj Ali on her daily jogging route through Beirut, Lebanon. She starts taking notes and begins to see the streets of her city with new eyes. As she jogs, she considers the city’s history of building and destruction through war and thinks about her roles as a woman, wife and mother. She examines her dreams and desires. And she thinks about Medea. Jogging is performed in Arabic with English subtitles.
