Project Zahira

Project Zahira creates sensorial dance theater productions. The company is based out of Amsterdam and works project by project. Artistic director Zahira Mous's vision for the company is to allow all parties involved in the creation of a performance to be touched by the process.

Project Zahira creates socially engaged works and honors the sacred feminine, functioning from the modality of women empowered leadership, creating with compassion and inviting the soul into the creative process. Performances engage the audience to be pulled into an interpersonal experience. We create performances to create more awareness on women's lived experiences, for example about metoo, mental health, and most recently femicide - something that is not nearly enough spoken about.

Since the piece, THE RITE, we've also offered a women's healing gathering on International Women's Day. There's a deep need for women coming together, and being held in a way in which they can be completely themselves - to be free in word, thought, movement. With seasoned professionals, we facilitate this deep healing work. Together with you.
