We warmly invite you to a screening of the trilogy that Zamakan is becoming:

ZAMAKANNAN is a video about the community around Sorte Firkant. The video draws an intimate portrait of the people and the everyday life surrounding the square. The film is a sequel to the long-term project Zamakan (TimeSpace), developed by Hatem and Dirckinck-Holmfeld since 2018. Zamakan explores the notion of what we term the contrapuntal image – an image that enfolds different spaces and times within its texture and materiality. Zamakan was followed by Reheet Reef (Smell of Nature), 2022, an intimate audio-memory of Jenin, Palestine. ZAMAKANNAN is an attempt to register everything that has happened to the community since we shot Zamakan in 2018, and to reflect on how the atrocities we are witnessing are inscribed in everyday life.

The event is free and all are welcome ◼️❤️

The production is supported by the Danish Arts Council & Sorte Firkant. We would like to thank everyone who have helped in the making of this project.

Join us for the performance
In Leeway by Ruby / Rou Green
Wednesday April 15,
Starting 7 pm at Sorte Firkant

Ruby presents “in leeway” - a one-person theater performance exploring the concept of empathy through intimate storytelling and poetry. From the perspective of a survivor living “in leeway”, this personal piece examines the space between survival and equality, finding freedom in the margins where meaning persists despite overwhelming constraints.

Ruby / Rou Green is a Lebanese-born multidisciplinary artist based in Copenhagen. Her work, ranging from painting to theater and writing, explores the worlds we carry inside us, transforming personal narratives into social connections.

Duration: 30 minutes. Language: Primarily English with Arabic elements.

The performance is free and all are welcome, but to attend please sign up by sending an email to [email protected]

Dear Guests,
we are sorry to inform that we have chosen to postpone the filmscreenings tonight due to the escalated situation in the entire region of the "Middle East". We will return with a new date.
We wish for peace and safety for all
