In my Heart's Eye: The Love Project

“[Love] is an existential project: to construct a world from a decentered point of view, other than that of my mere impulse to survive or re-affirm my own identity.”

Alain Badiou – In Praise Of Love

Love, like theatre, takes place in the “here” and “now” and drives individuals to transform the irrevocability of their past and the projections of their future into infinite possibilities in the present. Society posits the certainty of death at the core of any truth, as a fatality looming in the horizon and defining human action; framing “the end of the story”. But what if we were to study “the middle of the story”… the apex of the adventure of life, through instances of falling in love? How does this impact our reading of the world we live in, how many ends and beginnings can we envision other than birth and death?

This is not a memorized script, this is a well-rehearsed story

"This is not a memorized script, this is a well-rehearsed story” is an auto-biographical solo performance about a failed love story, a complicated relationship with Beirut, and an attempt to understand gender and identity. This play is the character’s attempt to remember what led to all that she is and realizing that she is constantly failing.
