MILK



A visual performance By Bashar Murkus and Khashabi  Ensemble
In MILK we are concerned with a disaster. Not with the causes of its occurrence, neither with its type nor its consequences, but with how it divides time in two - before and after - and rifts the two apart, turning time into something with no duration nor end. Past becomes present, and future loses all meaning other than endless repetition.
 
Inside this rift,  on a black ground which at first appears safe, a group of women is looking everywhere for their lost motherhood.  
 
How does  a disaster happen? in an instant. How does it end? It never does.
This is Milk, a visual performance of post-disaster aesthetics.

About Organizer

Khashabi is an independent Palestinain theatre in the city of Haifa. It was founded in 2011 as the artists’ collective Khashabe Ensemble. In 2015 the group achieved a physical space in the Wadi Salib neighborhood that was emptied from the majority of its original inhabitants 1948. Khashabi works towards a Palestinian society that freely practices art and creativity as a natural right, and strives to renew its cultural identity by placing independent culture front and centre, and provides a space for artists to freely experiment, create, research and perform alternative forms of theatre and art, and space where social, political and artistic taboos can be challenged, creating an invigorating creative environment based on cooperation and mutual support.
