Attend Triangles, an event happening in Amharic, Arabic, and English.<\/p>\n
Triangles is a festival-in-progress that translates, workshops, and reimagines three plays through a series of residencies and public encounters in Beirut and New York and an array of collaborations with groups and artists in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, the United States, and beyond.<\/p>\n
The project engages a range of languages and communities in a slow-cooking, collaborative, creative process. With Triangles, Masrah Ensemble seeks to cultivate a new dynamic between artists and audiences and to invite audiences to participate and play a central role in playwriting, translation, and performance development. Works- and translations-in-progress include plays by resident writers alongside Yekermo Sew (Tomorrow\u2019s Man) by Tsegaye Gabre-Medhin (1936-2006).<\/p>\n
