\u2013 the \u201cCallas of Egypt\u201d \u2013 is one of the great icons of classical Arabic music. Her sometimes 45-minute-long, profound songs and her concerts, lasting up to four hours, took on epic dimensions in the second half of the 20th century and captivated audiences across the in the Arab world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only is Umm Kulthum an example of a disadvantaged young woman who made it to the top within a patriarchally dominated artistic field, she also became a model of change and empowerment for women across the globe. Her influence, which helped inspire genuine social change and a sense of togetherness, extended into the political sphere: she engaged in vibrant solidarity and influential public actions, advocating for a society in which everyone can participate\u202f\u2013\u202fjust as in her songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, it seems more important than ever to activate the cross-border power of this extraordinary artist and to transport people in Berlin-Neuk\u00f6lln into a trance-like state of shared ecstasy. This is what is known in the Arab world as \u201ctarab\u201d: when bodies are infatuated and enchanted by music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With&nbsp;\u0637\u0631\u0628&nbsp;\/ TARAB, songwriter, singer, and cellist Nesrine Belmokh and director Sjaron Minailo create a collage of diverse Umm Kulthum songs.&nbsp;The three singer-performers Mireille Bittar, Rita El-Achkar, and Waed Bouhassoun take a musical journey through key stages of their own lives \u2013 all closely connected to Umm Kulthum\u2019s songs \u2013, which tell of affection, love, and farewell.&nbsp;While performing they undergo a&nbsp;transformation,&nbsp;refusing the eternal suffering that&nbsp;seems to be a female destiny.&nbsp;Accompanied by the Berlin-based ensemble transmusica, a performance emerges that weaves&nbsp;music through powerful scenography, movement and sensual dramatic languages into a unique stage experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
