An evocative performance blending theatre, circus, and contemporary dance. The performance takes us to the edge of birth, where fear meets hope, and a haunting question remains: Does the pulse truly begin, or fade before it starts? 

Directed by Ranin Odeh, who received Mishkal grant, the show brought together a talented creative team of performers, a writer, and technicians. 

At the beginning of 2026, Raneen travelled with the performance to present it outside Palestine.

We’re proud of Ranin’s first production, a bold step that embodies Mishkal’s mission: empowering Palestinian artists to bring their ideas to life. 

Listen to Ranin talks about her creative journey here.
