Mind, The Gap & For the Absent Ones

Work:: Mind, The Gap & For the Absent Ones (S12451940)

Hani Sami - A lecture performance on how we perceive and consume images in our current age. A collaboration between two key figures of Cairo's independent theatre scene, theatre director Hani Sami and choreographer and writer Mona Gamil; Mind, The Gap intertwines live performance, theoretical musings and visual projections. Focusing on iconic images from the last decade, the performance will guide audiences on a journey of intellect, trauma and catharsis. Hani Sami is a film and theater maker with a BA in Theatre from the American University in Cairo and an MA in Filmmaking from l'?cole Sup?rieur d'Audiovisuel in Toulouse. Parallel Crossings - The artist cannot be with us tonight, and yet the artist is present. Created as an audio-experience by theatre artists Abdullah Alkafri (Syria), Moez Mrabet (Tunisia), Jon Davis and Jonathan May (UK). For the Absent Ones is a response to tightening borders and restrictions on travel. Equipped with headphones and entering a theatre space, the audience listens to moving voices of those unable to move freely.
