When Arabs Danced
Kulturens historia och motståndskraft
I arabvärlden pågår en ständig kulturkamp. Konservativa röster och nyfrälsta salafister försökerhävda att traditionen påbjuder patriarkat, censur och fördömelse av ickereligiös kultur. Men attdet alltid sett ut så är en utstuderad lögn–andra röster harständigt stått emot, skapatbanbrytande konst och kultur, och iscensatt en annan, radikal definition av vad det innebär attvara arab och muslim.Journalisten och dokumentärfilmaren Jawad Rhalib varvar arkivbilder från ett århundradesstarkaste arabiskakulturröster med nytagna klipp om deras efterföljare idag, i samtal, påframträdanden och på repetitioner. I teatern, den samtida dansen, filmen, musiken,performancen och samtidskonsten skapas storslagna, sanna verk som motsäger dekonservativa kulturhatarna och de västerländska islamofoberna som båda försöker strypa dem.Kanske den verkliga vägen till självförståelse–och till Gud–finns just i kulturen somsamhällets mörka krafter vill utplåna?

Synopsis:
A fundamentalist hates life. For him, it presents temptation, a moving away from God and a loss of time before the celestial paradise with its rivers flowing with milk of eternal taste, its streams of wine, its delights and its virgins. Life is the product of disobedience and this disobedience is the work of the ARTIST. The fundamentalist resents the artist, who gives life to matter and leads pure souls away from paradise with sick ideas, a devilish drawing, a bewitching song or an evil dance… The artist is, therefore, the devil and in order to be able to kill him, the fundamentalist labels him the enemy of Allah. Formerly carefree, the Arab-Muslim world has now become the epicenter of a blind and often violent fundamentalism. Pressure from the fundamentalists overwhelms that of the moderates. The voice of reason struggles to be heard. In the face of this hopeless realization that is threatening our most basic freedoms, Jawad Rhalib questions Islamic Fascism and allows the voice of reason to speak in order to break what is now: “Be an artist and shut up!”.
