This series is not exactly a series but a combination of moments shared with women in different places around the world, women who live from dance and their bodies. Women who fly in search of freedom and of their destiny, who struggle close to the ground, to the movement of their bodies, in a continuous flow that takes them around the world: a new species of migratory bird that crosses seas and oceans before reaching dry land; some stay on an island, perhaps in Spain, in Ibiza, for an indefinite period, others travel as far as Reno, in the USA, on a journey that takes them to and from Madrid, to an island that can only be called disillusion. Siwah is also, or above all, the story of the vision of a travelling woman who is a migratory bird, searching for a land that no longer exists and becoming the bodies and customs of other women: those who work and half live in a clandestine Arabic dance venue, similar to a brothel; a meeting place, and also a luxury sex shop on an island, because islands are good stopping points for birds on a short flight. Photographers and dancers met at a given moment, in different places, to recharge and recover, take some pictures, dance eternal dances and continue the journey that leads to the same place: a destination inside ourselves.
