There is an Arab woman who is not mentioned in the media and who is not portrayed in film, TV and theatre. The self-thinking, the sexually liberated, the artistic, the entrepreneurial, the democratic - and the non-opressed woman. Where is she?
THE OTHER ARAB WOMAN struggles with an unwanted identity. No matter where she turns, she can find herself being met not as an individual, but as an anonymous representative of a culture and a religion. She needs to tell a different narrative, but which one?
On stage, she steps forward. Word for word, she disproves our prejudices about the Arab man and creates a testimony of a new self-portrait in front of us. THE OTHER ARAB WOMAN is here to stay.
THE OTHER ARAB WOMAN is a touching and brutally honest performance about female empowerment created by a strong artistic team of women. Directed by zlem Saglanmak, who won a Reumert Special Award for the successful production "HAIR ON IT"
The performance is curated and presented by CPH STAGE in collaboration with Blaagaard Teater.

If you want to experience new voices from the Danish theatre world, then THE OTHER ARAB WOMAN is the right show to choose at CPH STAGE this year. Hanin Georgis takes the stage in a story about what it is like to be an Arab woman in Denmark. It is a theater experience that contains both nerve and edge, and the performance should be praised for engaging in a free and risky dialogue with a new audience.The team behind it opens up new narratives, and THE OTHER ARAB WOMAN is for those who want to see an interesting, thought-provoking and forward-looking take on what relevant performing arts can look like in 2024.
