This performance is part of our Outspoken weekend of new performance from Arab artists, curated by Eckhard Thiemann.

Meryem Jazouli, Kelma (The Word)
Based on the life and poems of the most famous Palestinian poet, Mahmoud Darwish, Kelma is a meditation on exile and absence – and how the creation of art can transcend oppression and darkness, overcoming personal and political conflicts.

Muhanad Rasheed – Iraqi Bodies, Insomnia
Insomnia is a new version of Iraqi Bodies’ first work The Last Breath, created while living in Iraq in 2005. Three men attempt to find a space of tranquillity and repose in a world filled with uncertainty.

AGE GUIDANCE: 14+
