Description Programme: "The Politics of Belly Dancing: A Choreopoem" weaves a story of 'east' and 'west'. With the life spring of Arab women's culture it drowns forever the crazed gaze of the orientalists who have made a desert storm with their fetish for the exotic other. The dance remains, as it has always been, a dance by women for women."
