Nejla Yatkin Dance Performance
Contemporary dancer and Guggenheim fellow Nejla Yatkin presents her one-woman dance performance, "Ouroboros." Inspired by her nomadic ancestry, Yatkin has set the piece in the round and incorporates original composition, multiple languages (English, German, Turkish, movement and ASL), live music and a fusion of dance styles, including contemporary and Middle Eastern dance. The piece draws inspiration from the snake dances of the ancient lands of the Middle East and centers around the powerful symbol of Ouroboros, symbolizing the unity in all things and the cyclical nature of existence.
