”Fanny Ara reflects on the journey of Lilith, a female symbol of independence, freedom and control over her destiny.
Does liberation have a price? Are we the prisoner of our freedom?
In Lilith, Fanny exposes the weight of chains she once had to carry, self-inflicted as well as imposed by the expectations of others. She then takes us through the mesmerizing journey of her fight towards growth, acceptance and liberation.
Here, Fanny reaches a point of maturity, embodying strength and courage
that came from years of experiences and assumed choices.”
“Ara is credited as Lilith Artistic Director, Dancer, and Choreographer and displays true talents in all three realms. Her every gesture, prop, or costume contains a multitude of insights and experiences. […] Her Lilith is a triumph of artistry and self-actualization.”
“I was mesmerized, not only with Ara’s performance, but also with the totality of the production.[…] I was staggered at the intricacy with which Lillith wove its ambiance, to say nothing of the costumer’s skill in supporting a flamenco artist whose stature is major, and whose sparing appearances makes her presence and the productions she conceives so memorable.”
