The Fifth Period in Dubai

A 50-minute Contemporary Dance Performance by Sima Dance Company.

The 5th Period by Lana Fahmi

The weight of the school bag is already a heavy burden on the shoulders.

Every single day “Stand up straight, fix your uniform, fix your hair, not a toe out of line” The pressure builds slowly eating away at any ambition, and the soul depletes, until all that’s left is fatigue, numbness, and void, all during the fifth period.
