20:00 Performance 'Chronicles of an Orphan Revolution' - Leyla-Claire Rabih
In Arabic and French, with Dutch surtitles
How do you tell a story that is still taking shape? The Moussem artist-in-residence Leyla-Claire Rabih incorporated three pieces by the Syrian author Mohammad Al Attar into this new creation. Each of them sheds light on a specific moment in Syria’s recent history, showing how, starting from an uprising, this country found itself in a civil war. With a combination of acting, images and video, this highly topical production provides an insight into the complexity of the Syrian conflict.
After studying literature, Leyla-Claire Rabih worked as a director of contemporary plays in Germany for 10 years. In 2008 she settled in Lyon and set up her own company, Grenier Neuf.
