This was the theme of my show: The Tale of Zarqa Al-Yamama
Zarqa was a blue-eyed woman who inhabited the area north of Yemen in pre-islamic Arabia. She was known for her exceptional intuition and also had a rare gift: her eyes had the sharpest vision and she could spot enemy movement from an incredible distance.
One unfortunate time, the enemy made a clever plan to carry trees and hide behind them as they advanced slowly towards Zarqa's tribe. Zarqa noticed what was going on and alerted her tribe. The members of her tribe thought she was going mad and discarded her warning. The enemy troops eventually reached her tribe and Zarqa was slaughtered in the process.
My dance piece not only incorporates this ancient Arabic tale but also seeks to pass the moral behind it: sometimes our society overlooks individuals who possess profound wisdom, failing to heed their cautionary advice until consequences become unavoidable.
