The arabic word Habibi is a male connotation of darling or my beloved. The dance performance of an Austrian choreographer Helene Weinzierl Habibi Problem was inspired by a true story of two Iranian gay teenagers and their problems caused by the inacceptable otherness of their love. While one of them was killed by the authorities of his own country at the age of 17, the other lived in the UK exile under a constant threat of deportation back to his land.
Ten years later, Slovak choreographer Yuri Korec, who is the co-author and performer of the original version of this work, presents a renewed dance performance called Habibi 2196-18 within the context of the question of otherness in the Eastern European region.
