Thieves

Saturday, Apr 23, 2011
2:00pm -> 3:00pm
BIPOD 2011: The Arab Dance Platform 2nd Edition

Thieves paints a raw, alternatively grotesque and tender picture of a shadowy humanity. It asks: What is contained in the skin? Tawil and Rasheed measure their personal narratives against three archetypal symbols: The Bandit, The Wolf and The Killer. Thieves original score is performed live by the Lazy Sleepers.

Leyya Tawil (USA/Syria) :
