Join us on Friday September 22nd to watch “Mycelium” by Sophie Haj Hassan at 6 PM and “Lordless Ladies” by Yasmina Elamine at 7 PM as part of “Zoukak Sidewalks – The Universities Program”.
Mycelium by Sophie Haj Hassan
Mycelium talks about the manner in which a person deals with the possibility of their own death. “A” and “B” are two characters who run into each other in a war stricken city. Their meeting brings forth their struggle for survival and immortality, their yearning for communication and belonging, and their inescapable fear. Are they dying? Dead? Real? The play raises fundamentally philosophical questions pertaining to existence and non-existence, life and death, rejection and acceptance through the death of its own characters.
