Our Performances

WAR MAKER

If only I’d forget you after one last dance

SMOOTH LIFE

Based on Palestinian artist Karim Shaheen’s true story, War Maker is a  voyage into Karim’s dreams and delusions. With the mise-en-scene as a  resonance chamber, the audience will start sharing right from the  beginning the artist’s mindset. Having lived within an ongoing exile,  Karim’s life is standing at the crossroads where the performance itself  mirrors his broken war memories and the liminality of his existence.
