8th March 2022

“I am the poem and here are my words for you. I wish I could have told their story to Zayed and Rashid”. These are the lines with which Dubai-based poet and published author, Al Hanouf Mohammed, opened her performance for International Women’s Day at EXPO 2020.

She then goes on to pay a powerful poetic tribute to the women of the UAE, their incomparable achievements, and their inspiring spirit. However, it is no ordinary performance that Al Hanouf brings to this stage. Her verses are interspersed with a unique and intriguing chorus voiced by a group of men, chanting in unison at periodic intervals.
