Bagdad (Guest Program)

FRASCATI PRODUCTIES / MONTY / ENKIDU KHALED & CHRIS KEULEMANS

Keulemans and Enkidu both grew up in Bagdad. In their documentary-style theater performance the two men exchange images: of shootings and kidnappings in chaotic Bagdad of 2005 as well as an idyllic Easter Sunday in 1967 on a crisp green lawn in front of the Anglican church. As their stories unfold, they offer two completely different perspectives on a city that is bleeding dry.

Are they telling the truth? Are their memories real or poisoned by abominations? Bagdad is about boys chasing butterflies, men who kill, about lights on the banks of the Tigris and an insane kidnapping in today’s Bagdad, about pain and about paradise.
