25 years after 9/11, four artistic positions from the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East compose a multi-perspective evening about fear, power, violence, and the narratives that continue to shape them. Claudia Rankine & Bateira contrast the widespread fear after September 11 with the long-standing reality of racist violence and state repression faced by marginalized communities; Sivan Ben Yishai, Eyal Raz & Marie Bues reveal the gap between European terror discourse and the lived experience of occupation and violence in the Middle East; Ozan Zakariya Keskinkılıç’s first play is brought to the stage by Rodrigo Batista as a q***r body-horror trip; and Myassa Kraitt & Dilan Şengül dismantle Western terror myths and their historical roots in a sharp, humorous rap opera.
