A remix is an edited version of an existing musical track.

'Badke(remix)' is a reworking of the dance production featuring 10 Palestinian dancers that toured worldwide between 2013 and 2016, created by Koen Augustijnen, Rosalba Torres and Hildegard De Vuyst. The re-release of Badke now passes artistic control to Palestinian hands, specifically Amir Sabra and Ata Khatab, and becomes 'Badke(remix)'.

The title is a deliberate reversal of dabke, the name of the Palestinian folk dance and starting point of the production. With backgrounds in traditional dabke, contemporary dance, hip hop, capoeira or circus, the Palestinian performers bring a contemporary version of this dance that is traditionally reserved for (wedding) celebrations. 

'Badke(remix)' displays vitality and a passion for dance as a form of resistance. In 'Badke(remix)' a conscious choice has been made for a contemporary version of the popular, non-academic variant, an explosion of joy, a highly vital physical expression that speaks of connection, an affirmation of belonging. 

Through the festive surface of 'Badke(remix)', another reality breaks through, like cold gusts of wind through the cracks of a poorly insulated house. But in the end, one thought prevails: we won't let ourselves be broken, by anyone. We dance until we drop.
