The Experimental Theatre
Of Soil and Crimson

Fear burgeons over the place like an old ghost that the story inherits and divides among the progeny. It is the old fear, which is renewed with crisscrossing destinies that descended from thousands of years. Its dwellings’ stones are the destinies, which continue to carry its fear and its enemies and continuously search for life.

“Five Canaanite legends are woven, similar to fingers of one hand in a tapestry that extends from the fingers of “Mary the weaver” to the moments of death. Like a continuous fateful mission, the place demolished by others is being rebuilt; the destiny defeated by others is given support; and the stones that are frantically dissipated are being reorganized. “Of Soil and Crimson” is not a narrative, or a description of the story as much as it is a desire to reconstruct the legend and to pull it from the imagination towards the earth and the tangible. It is an attempt at recompiling the itinerant and the missing planks of the story to be narrated again.”
