Developing New Work
Adeeb (2022)
A layered exploration of memory, identity, and unresolved histories, Adeeb follows a character caught between past and present, truth and reconstruction. The play unfolds through confrontation and revelation, exposing buried narratives that resist closure.
Moving between personal and collective experience, the work interrogates how identity is shaped, remembered, and performed. Adeeb creates a space where contradictions remain visible, asking the audience to engage with what cannot be fully resolved.
After the Trojan women (2024)
After the Trojan Women (2024) reimagined Euripides’ classic through a cross-cultural and transhistorical lens. Written by Amena Shehab and Joanna Blundell, the play brings together ancient and modern voices, where the women of Troy intersect with three present-day Syrian women displaced by war.
Set within a collapsing boundary of time and place, the production stages a chorus of women across generations and geographies, exploring the enduring impact of violence, exile, and survival. Through layered storytelling and ensemble-driven performance, the work reflects on resilience and collective memory, transforming an ancient tragedy into a living, urgent meditation on war and its aftermath.
