“Shemm en nassim” is the name of the old Egyptian spring festival that is still celebrated today. “Shemm en nassim” takes us back to the days when Egypt was ruled by the life-giving cycles of the Nile. The scent of nature budding inspires images of days long gone and sets the momentum for the choreography, borne by the archaic music of composer Georges Kazazian (Choreography: Marie al Fajr).
