Artozium | What do Survivors Dream Of? Performance

Samah Hamdy is an interdisciplinary artist whose work exists on the boundary between art and life through interactive experiences.

To the survivors who live suspended between dreams and reality, those who have known pain and endured the harshness of life upon both body and soul, yet refused to surrender to it.

In their faces, in their silence, in the screams that were never heard, I found inspiration... This work is dedicated to you… and to myself.

The performance explores the concept of survival through a philosophical and psychological lens, reflecting the inner struggle and the crisis of identity experienced by survivors.

It is a visual performance piece that blends cinematic imagery with live embodied scenes unfolding in direct relation to the moment and the space. Through immersive scenography, music, and physical performance, the work creates a shifting sensory experience that ultimately leads into an interactive ending shaped through the audience’s presence and participation.
