Marrakech — In a world that often feels divided, Lebanese choreographer Lamia Safieddine invites us to witness something extraordinary, “Le Liban au Cœur”, a performance where movement, poetry, and memory intertwine to celebrate resilience, hope, and friendship between two nations. 

The show will take the stage on November 12 at Studio des Arts Vivants in Casablanca, and again on November 15 at Théâtre Meydene in Marrakech.

In “Le Liban au Cœur,” nine dancers bring to life a story of exile, rebirth, and love for Lebanon, a country that has endured, rebuilt, and reimagined itself countless times. 

Guided by Lamia’s choreographic hand, the performance moves to the haunting voices of Fayrouz, Ziad Rahbani, Marcel Khalifé, and Orange Blossom, interwoven with the timeless words of Gibran Khalil Gibran, Nadia Tuéni, and Mahmoud Darwich.

Every gesture, every turn, becomes a conversation, between memory and future, pain and beauty, the body and the soul. 

The stage transforms into a living canvas, a meeting place of poetry and resilience where Lebanon’s story beats strong, tender, and unbreakable.

Recognized by UNESCO, L’Institut du Monde Arabe, and celebrated stages around the world, Lamia Safieddine is a pioneer of contemporary Arab dance. 

Her work bridges heritage and modernity, grounding tradition while elevating it to something universal.

As Al Charq al-Awsat once wrote, “Lamia confirms the return of the Gibranian current to Arab art.” Her dance doesn’t just move; it speaks, a silent language that connects hearts beyond borders.

Beyond its artistic brilliance, “Le Liban au Cœur” carries a powerful humanitarian mission. 

The performance will support the Moroccan Food Bank — also active in Lebanon — and the French Popular Relief, Lebanon section, longstanding partners of Lamia’s company.

It’s a reminder that art isn’t only meant to be seen, it’s meant to heal, to unite, and to give. 

Through this act, Lamia Safieddine turns dance into a language of peace, one that binds Morocco and Lebanon in shared compassion and generosity.

For over two decades, Lamia has been a beacon in the world of dance, her body a vessel of memory, her art a declaration of love and liberty. 

Her creations have toured more than twenty countries, resonating with audiences for their emotional depth and cultural fusion.

As Le Monde puts it, “With Lamia, we can truly speak of contemporary Arab dance.” Her work is both grounded and transcendent, a reminder that even in stillness, there is movement; even in pain, there is poetry.

So mark your calendars. This November, Casablanca and Marrakech will pulse to the rhythm of a shared heart, a Lebanese heart that beats proudly, passionately, and at home in Morocco.

Because when Lamia Safieddine dances, she doesn’t just tell a story, she reminds us that we are all part of it.
