Quick Info
In Wihad Suleiman's powerful visual and linguistic text, we meet four people who are thrown back on their naked EXISTENCE in the midst of war. We experience with them what it means when everything they take for granted is wiped out before their eyes. These are places of the past, present and future where people struggle to understand their own existence in the face of the loss of people, possessions, dreams and freedom in their dramatically changing world.
The text was written as part of workshops at London's renowned Royal Court Theatre. Wihad Suleiman, born in 1988, graduated from the Higher Institute of Dramatic Arts in Damascus. In 2015, Wihad Suleiman spent six months at the Theater an der Ruhr, sponsored by the Goethe Institute. In February 2017, her version of "Medea" had its premiere at the Großes Haus of the Theater Oberhausen. Lydia Ziemke is directing the world premiere of the text in German and Arabic. The multilingual project will celebrate its world premiere at the Kunstfest Weimar 2022.
