It’s May, May-be,

or May-Never

premiere, March, 2011 - Oldenburg

Omar Rajeh choreographed ""It's May, May-be, or May-Never" with 6 dancers of Tanzcompagnie Oldenburg, Germany. Together with Arco Renz (Germany) and Iztok Kovac (Slovenia) Omar contributed to "Triple Bill", an evening which is reflecting on the music of the 68 generation. Omar Rajeh is approaching the theme from a very distinctive point of view, the late Sixties as a period of security and freedom in his home country of Lebanon. His creation is a very deep insight in human nature, an atmospheric encounter of six individuals, who are thrown and moved by the fragrance of a lost prosperous age. But Omar Rajeh is sensitive enough not to glorify the past. Unpretentiously Vietnam reportage elements mingle into the personal atmosphere, setting a strong counterpoint to Joan Baez' yearning voice.
