The Carpetbag Theatre, Inc. Presents:
11 Reflections on September
Written, Directed & Performed by Andrea Assaf
Video Design by Pramila Vasudevan
Music by Salah Fattah, Tim O’Keefe, & Aida Shahghasemi
Lighting Design by Kat Lovell
Sound Design by Owen Henry & Keegan Fraley
Eleven Reflections on September is a poetry/spoken word-based, multi-media performance on Arab American experience, Wars on/of Terror, and “the constant, quiet rain of death amidst beauty” that each autumn brings in a
post-9/11 world. This production is based on the series of poems Andrea Assaf has been writing since 2001, spanning the fall of the towers, the on-going wars, and the current revolutions sweeping through the Arab world. Aesthetically, the poems explore the disintegration of language in the face of violence, prejudice, and unspeakable horror; as such, they progress from lyrical to abstract and broken. The annual witnessing of autumn leaves becomes a metaphor for the fallen–the fighters and the innocent.
