(after its premiere in Germany at FORUM FREIS THEATRE in Düsseldorf - october 2011)
The performance is in the Arabic and German languages with English subtitles.

This German Lebanese production is a bilingual collage putting passages of Heiner  Müller's work into the diary-like texts by Etel Adnan, concerning the American invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Etel Adnan and Heiner Müller are connected by a common aesthetic grammar allowing them to compress experiences of violence of the modernity into a poetic event.

The project intends a theatrical exchange between cultures. It belongs to the most sensitive field: 'devastations by violence' which we find in the history of Germany and that of the Arab World in many dimensions.
In front of this horizon, “Masks of Violence” demonstrates, that living together is possible.
