Rabih Mroué’s surprise reading for New York by an unannounced guest, followed with a 50 minute screening of a selection of his video works including Face A Face B (10 min.), With Soul, with Blood (11 min.), I, the undersigned (7 min.), On three Posters (18 min.) and What know I of beginnings (2 min.)
Rabih Mroué is an actor, director, and playwright. Continuously searching for new and contemporary relations among all the different elements and languages of the theatre art forms, Mroué questions the definitions of theatre and the relationship between space and form of the performance and, consequently, questions how the performer relates with the audience. His works deal with issues that have been swept under the table in the current political climate of Lebanon and he draws much-needed attention to the broader political and economic contexts by means of a semi-documentary theatre.
