"Movement is a direct language connecting discipline, weight, and narrative expression."

— Ahmed Kullab

Physical Precision and Narrative Form

Combining ground acrobatics, contemporary dance, and physical theatre developed through training in Palestine and ongoing practice in Europe.

I am Ahmed Kullab (born 1991), an acrobatic dancer and contemporary circus performer living in Ljubljana, Slovenia. My work bridges the technical discipline of breakdance floorwork and acrobatics with contemporary dance partnering and physical theatre dramaturgy.

I completed my undergraduate degree in Primary Education at Al-Quds Open University and earned a 148-hour circus trainer diploma through the Palestinian Circus School. In 2014, I co-founded Terhal Circus to develop contemporary circus work in Palestine. Over the last decade, I have directed, choreographed, and performed across Germany, Italy, France, Jordan, Croatia, Slovenia, and Palestine.

Currently, I perform and teach with Cirkus Fuskabo in Ljubljana and dance with the Stereo 48 company. Alongside stage performance, I regularly teach workshops in acrobatics, partner balance, and movement improvisation.

Home Awake

24th October • 18:00
Cirkus Fuskabo Ob Ljubljanici 36, Ljubljana, Slovenia

A story of leaving home to chase a dream, finding moments of joy under the spotlight, and carrying the weight of being far away when home needs you the most. As war breaks out in Palestine in 2023, distance becomes more than miles, it becomes the pain of helplessness, missing the people you love, and longing for a place you can no longer reach. Through acrobatics, movement, and theatre, Home Awake explores what it means to be far from home while home never leaves you.
