Interventionist Theatre Symposium:
Featuring a Screening of The Last Enemy
Presented in the Wexner Center Film and Video Theatre
April 16, 1:30 – 6:00 PM
Free Event
The symposium features three interventionist theatre practitioners who have done extensive work in occupied Palestine. Interventionist theatre, an emerging field within theatre studies, lets people living in conflict areas develop new collaborative work generated from their personal experience and workshops with theatre specialists. The symposium will begin with the screening of a documentary on The Last Enemy, an Israeli/Palestinian collaboration with a cast of three Israeli actors, three Palestinian actors, two Jordanian actors, and one Arab-Israeli actor, and incorporating Arabic, Hebrew, and English. The screening will be followed by a round table discussion with Dr. Jim Mirrione of the Creative Arts Team at New York University. Mirrione is a specialist on interventionist theatre and directed The Last Enemy. Also featured will be Louay Assaf and Sami Mitwassi, a Palestinian actor who has worked extensively with the Palestinian theatres ASHTAR and INAD.
