مِلْك

A creation by Bashar Murkus and Khulood Basel
Khashabi Theatre 
2022

 

​

In MILK we are concerned with a disaster.

 
Not with the causes of its occurrence, neither with its type nor its consequences, but with how it divides time in two - before and after - and rifts the two apart, turning time into something with no duration nor end. Past becomes present, and future loses all meaning other than endless repetition.

 

Inside this rift,  on a black ground which at first appears safe, a group of women is looking everywhere for their lost motherhood.  

 

How does  a disaster happen? in an instant. How does it end? It never does.

This is Milk, a visual performance of post-disaster aesthetics.
