SHAMS Dance Company / Jumana Dabis

“Sarkha صرخة” is a film by Jumana Dabis about Palestinian women and girls who come together through dance in a time of fear and destruction. The film portrays dance as a source of strength for community, remembrance, and hope for a better future.

In a daily life marked by destruction and fear, dance can offer comfort and foster community. “Sarkha صرخة,” a film by choreographer Jumana Dabis, emerged from this need.

Answering the call for greater visibility, Palestinian women and girls in Cairo, Ramallah, and Gaza gather for a symbolic reunion in Gaza to dance together one last time.

“Sarkha صرخة” is a testament to the unifying power of art, capturing the enduring beauty of Palestine and the resilience of its people, while holding fast to the hope for a better future.
