Welcome,
peace-loving viewers, to
Enlightening Entertainment.
Today’s program features
the beautiful Palestinian
folkloric dance
as it is performed
by the Wishah
Popular Dance Troupe
from Ramallah, Palestine.
Palestinian folkloric dance
is a unique
non-verbal medium
of communication
and a vivid expression
of happiness,
togetherness and unity.
Historically as well
as today, it is performed
in various forms
at festive occasions
in Palestine, celebrating
harvests, weddings,
social gatherings
as well as numerous
joyous holidays.
Palestinian culture
is deep rooted
in this land because
Palestinian people
have lived over this land
since more than 5,000 years.
And this land
has witnessed
many connections
with many other peoples
because of
its strategic location,
and intermingled
with many civilizations
such as the Romanian,
Greek, and
Assyrian civilizations.
In addition to that, there
were many civilizations
that shared their cultures,
customs and traditions,
and the Palestinian culture
is a main part for
the culture of this area.

The Wishah
Popular Dance Troupe
was founded in 2003
by a group of
young spirited volunteers
who wish to devote time
and youth to arts, peace
and essence of culture.
Holding the belief that
dance is a form of spiritual
and cultural education,
the group seeks
to preserve and enrich
the cultural legacy
as well as the beauty
of life in Palestine.
In the past six years,
the troupe has toured
45 times in other parts
of the world performing
for over 30,000
audience members.
The Wishah team
is interested in public
and folklore dancing,
and mixes between
dancing and acting, or
between drama and theatre.
It's a new team
that performed
many artistic shows
in many Arab
and European countries,
this new play or
this new show contains
40 dancer, dancing girl,
actor and actress and
deals with the Palestinian
National Unity theme.
Yeah, actually
we in Wishah believe
that the popular dance,
especially the Palestinian
popular dance
is not actually dancing
for itself only.
We present and also
tell the audience of
the position of the artists
and the civilians
from what’s going on uh
around us.
For example,
the show today?
conveyed
two main messages.
The first one was
to give a light from
an artistic perspective on
the humanitarian aspects
of the refugees
and the daily life.
The second message states
that we as Palestinians,
as civilians, as artists,
as lectured and
cultured people
we are calling for peace,
which is giving back
the rights to its people.
This is what we believe in.

I always think that
the young generation is
the generation of future,
and that it is
the generation who can
make the change
and who is responsible
for changing
the whole world,
The young people
in Palestine
yearn for freedom
and independence.
We will be back shortly
with more on the Wishah
Popular Dance Troupe
from Palestine.
Please stay tuned

Television.
Welcome back to

A traditional dance,
it’s like you dance
from your soul.
You don’t have
a lot of techniques
as for the dances.
Well, what we are trained
to do as a troupe is to make
this kind of mix between
dancing techniques,
something new,
and to present the soul
of our traditions with
symbols and simple things
and to try to make
this kind of uh mix
to have something
for the audience.

The Wishah
Popular Dance Group
brings alive the healthy,
loving Palestinian
social life on the stage,
and lifts people’s hearts
with a thriving spirit of
love, humor, and harmony.
I myself
I am a telecom engineer,
working for
a mobile operator
in Palestine.
And I see myself
with Wishah
three times a day,
three hours each time.
So it’s really a nice place
to meet friends,
to express yourself out,
to build cultural relations
and bridges.
So it is a beautiful thing
to do in Palestine.

An excellent example
of the many dance groups
in Palestine, the Wishah
Popular Dance Troupe
actively helps to bring
men, women and children
to the realization of their
own artistic potential.
It was like a dream
to participate in such,
as a woman
It’s a great pleasure
to participate
in such activities in
our Palestinian economy.
As a woman,
it means a lot for me
because I can participate.
I can be one member
of this troupe
working together,
women and men,
and this is really
a great chance for me.
And you should know that
clouds refer to the rains,
The sun doesn't shine in
the presence of the stars.
We will dance
to the northern music
and tune.
You, fully awake,
don't laugh
in the early morning.
I still remember Haifa,
Jaffa, Acre, and Tiberias.
Mount Carmel is still high
and slowly getting higher,
roots of grapevine are
still waiting for water.

When the eloquent one speaks,
everyone listens to him.
Everyone listens to
the eloquent one
when he speaks.
Then they compete
in a poetry competition
and the rhymes
are uncountable.
[a Palestinian melody]
No matter what you say,
the contest is the proof.
The proof is the contest
because it shows everything.
It shows everything and
the guys know this point.
The guys know this point,
and we will be first place
in poetry.
[a Palestinian melody]
Our dream now
is to have other tours
and to go outside
to reflect our traditions
and our culture
and even our history
through this kind of art.
So by dancing the
popular Palestinian dances
and taking it to the
new coming generations,
we are sure that
this is pure Palestinian.
On the other hand
it’s a way and the space
for the people to meet,
to express
and to breathe out.
My poem is like bread
and olive oil, and
when I sing, my voice
become so popular.
My voice becomes
so popular when I sing,
and through my songs
I accompanied lions.
Through my songs
I accompanied
an entire nation,
and healed its wounds
many times.
[a Palestinian melody]
O moon,
illuminate the nights,
the packsaddles of horses
like the light.
The packsaddles of horses
like the light,
the impossible doesn't exist.
The impossible doesn't exist,
with our determination
we come to life.
We appreciate Wishah
Popular Dance Troupe
and the Palestinian artists
for your
beautiful contributions
to beauty and peace
in our world.
May Allah grace you and
the gentle Palestinian people
with love and happiness.
