Hanane, a Lebanese actress and citizen aged fifty-something, does her daily exercise to prevent osteoporosis, obesity and depression. While working out, she revisits her dreams, desires, hopes, and disappointments, as well as her characters and roles—mostly a series of parts as Medea—with whom she shares some common features. The effects of this daily routine are contradictory: the hormones in her body are stimulated with dopamine and adrenaline, which shift between destructive and constructive, like a city which is built to destroy, and vice versa.
Hanane Hajj Ali is an actress, author and cultural activist. She is a very well-known figure in Lebanon’s culture and art scene. In 2005, she was chosen by Jean-Baptiste Sastre to play the role of the mother in “Les Paravents” by Jean Genet at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris. She was recently bestowed the Vertebra Prize for Best Actor at Edinburgh’s Fringe Festival for her role in JOGGING.
