"Enta Omri"- Mercedes Nieto & Nimfeum Dance Studio, Summer Show 2025

Enta Omri - The Dawn Begins with you / A hajnal veled kezdődik Summer Dance Show of Mercedes Nieto & the Nimfeum Dance Studio An iconic singer, a legendary melody, forty dancers, a thousand and one emotions. The Nimfeum invites you on a personal journey into the world of Middle Eastern dance, where dancers and audience together rediscover the boundaries—and boundlessness—of the art form and its unique power to connect worlds, people, and emotions. Oum Kalthoum, the Egyptian diva who passed away fifty years ago, left behind a timeless legacy. Her song Enta Omri (“You Are My Life”) remains one of the most performed and danced pieces in the world of Raqs Sharqi (Oriental Dance). Yet, thanks to its rare complexity and emotional depth, every interpretation remains unique and unrepeatable. The Nimfeum Oriental Dance Studio now presents a full dance performance with theatrical approach inspired by the spirit of this iconic song. “Who are you? A memory woven into dance, the trace of a fleeting touch— Before you, I never knew the taste of joy. In the light of your eyes, I finally saw myself, and from that moment on, I truly began to live. How short life is, and how much has already passed— yet it feels as if everything is just beginning. In the halo of dawn, in this endless moment, you are here — and so am I. This dance is our time: momentary, eternal.” Performers: Mercedes Nieto, Alexandra Varga, Ballabás Ildikó Lina, Anna Dalma Kajtár, Dalma Wittmann, the Nymph Oriental Dance Company, the NIMFEUM students and groups, and guest artists: Rhea Noa (fusion dance), Zsofi Balogh (singing), Fatima Gozlan (ney), Bihari László (saiidi) Concept & director: Mercedes Nieto Video: Afilm.hu 6szín Teátrum, Budapest 2025 www.nietomercedes.com
