Highlights
Here, Paulikevitch comes to the audience stripped of all trappings, without music or a proper stage, in nothing but his underwear, as a symbol of loss.
On the night of Jan. 14, Lebanese baladi dancer Alexandre Paulikevitch limped home after a beating from riot police.
He’d been picked up by chance during the popular protests. Feeling broken, both physically and mentally, he began to hum and dance, expressing himself the only way he knew how.
