The Pomegranate (2005) - Palestinian Artist JUMANA EMIL ABBOUD

The pomegranate is a 17 minute video performance by Abboud, documenting her efforts in trying to re place the pomegranate seeds back into their shell, which causes them to burst throwing their red juice on Jumana’s hands. The seeds cannot be returned into their original position and are rather causing damage to themselves and their shell.

“Her very selective use of onstage gestures produces an equally dramatic effect. When she sings, Fayrouz stands straight, her look coolly deadpan, almost stern at times. It’s as if she were saving every last drop of emotion for that gorgeously expressive voice. But on the occasions when she stretches her arm out toward the audience, or clutches her hands to her breast, or gives a quick, fiery shake of the shoulders - then the crowd’s impassioned response tells you a lot about the relationship between Fayrouz and her fans. There’s a constant two-way flow of energy between performer and audience that makes a Fayrouz concert more than just a musical event—and this is true even for fans who do not understand her Arabic lyrics.”

— Barry Hoberman on Fairuz’s appearance at the United Nations.
