137 words

Kaleidoscopic Dramaturgy

My goal became to find new, expanded, theatrical forms to initiate a dialogue between concepts of diasporic identity, trauma, conflict, and colonial history in the context of the Middle East and its relationships with its Others – including through the specific trajectory of my own journey and how my subjectivity has been shattered and reformed by multiple transnational relocations.

  •  In my playwriting, I wanted to recreate that hybridity of both peaceful and contentious cross-cultural exchange
  • and so I developed a kaleidoscopic metaphor to express a blend of different elements that change perpetually and move disorientingly, yet emerge anew, creatively and beautifully.
