Multiple Reflections of inner flow
Portray is created with an urge to unravel the layers of a body through its reservoir. Tapping into time-less states.
Portray is a continuation of Shoukry’s choreographic curiosity about inner movement, repetition, transformation and the action of shaking in the performances TT (2012), Turning (2014) and May7komsh (2015).
