The Arabic term jinn means "invisible beings." The jinn are sentient beings who are composed from subtle matter. Before Islam, they were worshiped as gods, as tutelary deities, or as spiritual protectors not only in the Arabian Peninsula but also in neighbouring areas.... In Qu'ran... there is mention that the jinn are created from scorching winds and a smokeless fire. The concept of Jinn is used as a metaphor for addressing the question of the musicality inherent in human bodily movement. This time Carlos Guedes and Kirk Woolford's show combines dance and media in collaboration with Kiori Kawai, Nella Turkki, Cristina Ioan and Saguenail.
