Avsløringer om sløret* (Revelations of the Veil) by Corinne Campos Produksjoner aims to create an arena for dialogue and reflection concerning the use of hijab/a religious veil for youth, within an aesthetic frame, using a contemporary expression.
Using a hijab designed for sports by Cindy van den Bremen a physical expression is emphasised. Avsløringer om sløret wants to be a performance contributing to knowledge and interest, using catchy music, with dance and the body as fundamental elements.
Avsløringer om sløret was supported by Arts Council Norway, The Audio Visual Fund and The Fund for Performing Artists. It was co-produced by The Cultural Rucksack in Drammen and the venue Union Scene in 2007.

"Dance, music and images forms the entrance to discussions whether hijab is suppressing and when it may be a symbol of freedom"
