Iraq: Speaking of War
Saturday, March 19th 2005 8 pm
New York, NY USA
http://meetup.radicaldesigns.org/calendar_display.php?calid=12707

IRAQ: SPEAKING OF WAR:This ritual-theater event is presented on the eve
of the second anniversary of the United States invasion of Iraq, to
mourn all those who have died and been wounded in the conflict. Actors
tell stories of individuals caught in the war, culled from a wide range of
documentary sources, while the chorus names and laments the dead.
Musical interludes provide space for reflection. This documentary-ritual
reveals the human costs of the Iraq war and memorializes the loss of so
many irreplaceable lives.
Even as the official death toll of Americans killed in combat continues
to rise (currently over 1,350), there is no count of Iraqi civilian
deaths. Estimates range from between 16,000 (Iraq Body Count) to over
100,000 (The Lancet). Many of those killed or maimed by bombs and shrapnel,
at checkpoints, or in their homes, have been children. The stories of
American soldiers, Iraqi civilians and combatants, journalists and aid
workers, when told together, weave a tapestry of shared humanity.

New York actors George Bartenieff, Kathleen Chalfant, Eve Ensler, Najla
Said, Maysoon Zayid, and others will participate. Music and drumming
will be provided by: Gilberto Alvarez, Johnny Farraj, and Raquy and the
Cavemen (Raquy Danziger , Liron Peled, Rami El-Aasser, Yotam Beery),
Milos Raickovich, and others. Text and production by: Dalia Baisouney,
Linda Hoaglund, Alicia House, Danielle Heureux, Amneh Taye, and Karen
Malpede.
(An earlier version of this event was presented as Iraq: Naming the
Dead, last August. See http://www.Iragnamingthedead.org )
