Let's recall Badia Masabni, and all since. Let's dance and sing for memory, beauty, and history.
Cabarets from Berlin to Cairo have always served as spaces of cultural resistance where artists from the margins challenge oppression and censorship through entertainment and politics.
Alexandre Paulikevitch, being a man who practices a dance exclusively reserved for women, brings back in Cabaret Sursock musical and dance heritage from the past with a modern approach to body politics!
In partnership with the Sursock Museum, the proceeds of this show will go to support Bahh’s mutual fund in an effort to involve its community and audience in supporting its work and securing its independence.

Alexandre Paulikevitch, born in Beirut in 1982, moved to Paris in 2000 to pursue dance. He graduated from the University of Paris VIII in Theater and Dance.

He performs in diverse venues, from museums to theater festivals.
About Bahh:
Bahh, is a group of artists, workers, and researchers with multiple interests, dreams and thoughts, active in the field of arts and its performative possibilities. The establishment of this group came about as a concerted effort that wanted to respond to the needs of workers in the fields of performing arts. These needs emerged from an economic system that made these workers compete with each other and at the same time reduced the possibilities of collective, joint, and cooperative practices. In light of an economic, social, and moral collapse, we see art as inseparable from being able to live a decent life. Bahh strives to ensure the continuity and sustainability of theatrical and performance works, as a means of professional continuity and a way to resist the injustices that dominate the market, art, and society. Hence, this group is always seeking various means to ensure its sustainability, one of which is this venture of organizing a dance and music performance in order to raise funds for our mutual treasury.
