Zahira is often called a "Renaissance Woman," which means a woman who has acquired knowledge and proficiency in more than one field. In her school years, she was advised to 'choose one thing,' but it's just not in Zahira's nature. So, she is a dance theater maker, a performer, a writer, an educator, a producer, a painter, and a therapist - all embedded in the passions for dance, creation and connection.

Most of this year was dedicated to creating THE RITE - a duet about femicide, which Zahira made in co-creation with Ivana Berkhout. Due to Zahira falling off the set during rehearsal two weeks prior to opening night, she replaced herself with dancer Rosalie van Wamel. THE RITE successfully played for four nights in Cultuurhuis de Brakke Grond in Amsterdam. Each performance was accompanied by an after-talk with the audience, moderated by human rights attorney Geraldine Moodley.
