Work
Born in a living room in Lebanon , our project has journeyed across continents to find a home here in Australia. We create our light room shows from the comfort of our own space, editing and uploading them for you to experience. The music that sets the scene comes from a mix of sources - collaborations with friends, online discoveries, and simply the tunes that move us.What began as an intimate, interactive experience has evolved into a theatrical performance piece for unconventional venues. When lockdowns forced us to close our doors to live audiences, we embraced the screen and found a new way to share our work with the virtual world.

Kalam Maozon كلام موزونKalam Maozon (Tuned Words) is an attempt to revive shadow theatre practice and make it available online. Our characters and stories are drawn from the oral histories of the city of Aleppo as documented by Samir Tahan in his book Aleppo Calendar. Telling the stories of our ancestors serves as bridge to our connection with them.This project was the collaboration of three Syrian artists:
Raffi Minas, writer and puppeteer, Canada
Aya Mhana, original music scoring, Canada
Adeeb Razzouk, producer and voice actor, Australia

Papers form the Citadel - Work in progress
Papers from the Citadel is an interactive performance which uses movement combined with darkness and light to tell an original concept storyBased on The Papers from the High Castle by Adeeb Razzouk, this fictional story takes place in a surreal world where the protagonist wakes to find himself in room that floats on air. This room has no door and only one window, and features a stranger who reminds him of a place he used to call home. As way of keeping track of time, he decides to write a diary of everything he is experiencing

“A Kafkaesque Odyssey” Variety
After the unexpected death of a father he hardly knew, Wilfrid is coerced to bury the body in his father’s homeland.
He is helped in his quest by a movie director and one of King Arthur’s knights, both farcical versions of Wilfrid’s own psyche.
Along the way, he acquires friends all of whom dream of a better life and when confronted by a war-torn country, Wilfrid finds an additional corpse is one too many. Only if he makes it to the Tideline, will he be able to bury his father.
Following the critically acclaimed Scorched, the epic Tideline is the second play of award-winning Lebanese-Canadian playwright Wajdi Mouawad to hit the Australian stage.
