A myth reborn through movement, power, and the female experience. ✨
Story of Hera — Egypt is a contemporary dance and physical theatre performance that draws on mythological imagery to explore complex feminine archetypes, power, and emotional survival.
Choreographed and directed by Egyptian artist Shahenda Bahgat (Shahenda Gouhar), the production brings together modern dance, physical theatre, and striking dramatic costumes to create a powerful visual and physical language.
At its heart, Story of Hera looks beyond mythology to explore the emotions and power dynamics that shape the female experience. Through movement and theatrical expression, the performance transforms these themes into a visceral encounter between the body, emotion, and identity.
Having stood out within Egypt’s independent arts scene and secured presentation slots at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina International Summer Festival and She Arts Festival, Story of Hera arrives at SHE ARTS as a performance where myth meets contemporary expression.
