ReOrientalism
Open Studio Showing

 

Saturday, June 21, 2003


12pm Experimental Theater, Amherst College

Western images of Islam and the East are redirected, reshaped, and reclaimed by three artists of Middle Eastern descent in ReOrientalism, a multimedia pocket opera that merges spoken word, sung text, original and traditional music. Composer and oud virtuoso Alan Shavarsh Bardezbanian, poet Suheir Hammad, and percussionst Karim Mohammed disrupt stereotypes using Edward Said's influential work.

An early sneak peek on projects in development for our 25th Anniversary season! Limited to 50 people by reservation only! Make reservations at 413.545.1972 starting 6/2.
