Once in a Blue Moon by Tala Issaoui

Echoes from the unseen begin to shimmer beneath the mystic’s path, ushering her into her final passage under a blue moon.

‘Once in a Blue Moon’ is a three-part choreographic work created and performed by Tala Issaoui that moves through film, live performance, and ritual embodiment. It follows a mystic who goes on a journey of self-transformation and rebirth.

‘Ode To My Soulmate?’ –  a visual invocation, setting the stage for what’s to come – an exploration of the romantic notions of love and soulmates – a ponder, yearning and desire.

‘Void…’ – where water floods the stage – an echo of past moments, a reckoning, a release. The mystic is called to confront what lies beneath, finding renewal in the ebb and flow of movement through grief, pain and remembrance of friendships.

‘Once in a Blue Moon’- her body becomes a vessel, spiralling through trance, memory, and elemental force. Movement unravels at the edges of conscious thought, a ritualistic dance with the unknown.

This is a performance of thresholds – what emerges when something breaks, when something returns, and when something is finally let go. 

It is a space where time shifts, where the act of witnessing becomes an invitation to feel, experience, and transform.
