Event Details

IVP is proud to present

Invasion

By: Jonas Hassen Khemiri

Translated by: Frank Perry

 

In collabration with Swedish American Museum and Consulate General of Sweden

 

Synopsis

Invasion is a tornado of words, images and ideas, all centered around a magical name: Abulkasem. The play assaults our deepest prejudices about identity, race and language. At once hilarious, disturbing and poignant, this deeply subversive play deconstructs a threatening identity – the Arabic male – and forces us to confront our own cultural identity.

When a Mamluk slave ascends the throne without being emancipated, he must be sold and earn his freedom from his new master. Should he follow the law and risk losing the throne or take back his throne through force?

Tawfiq Al-Hakim’s literary classic explores the nature of power and freedom.

Performed entirely in Arabic with English subtitles by an international cast, this adaptation will be a North American premiere.
