Inspired by the epic story of Gilgamesh, the poetry of contemporary Kurdish poet Kajal Ahmad, and documentary accounts from Kurdish women, I will dance with those oak trees as long as is a 2-woman object, puppet, and physical theater show about 3 Kurdish women, Gilgamesh, Enkidu, and Ninsun: who work in a carpet store in Halabja, Iraq in February of 1988, just one month before the chemical weapons attack on Kurdish peoples by Saddam Hassein's regime. Featuring an evocative musical score that complements the movements on stage, this piece is a multisensory experience that will stay with you long after the final curtain falls.
