66 Minutes In Damascus66 Minutes In Damascus
Synopsis:
the artist who brought improvised theatre to the streets of Beirut during the political turmoil of 2008, Lebanese film-maker and theatre director Lucien Bourjeily, now brings the Syrian revolution disturbingly close to London in his new work 66 Minutes in Damascus. Inspired by the descriptions of Syrian detention centres from foreign journalists and local activists arbitrarily incarcerated by the autocratic regime, 66 Minutes in Damascus puts the audience in the place of a group of tourists who visit the Syrian capital, only to be arrested by the Syrian secret service. Trapped in a web of intrigue and fear, the audience becomes similarly entangled in the strands of immersive, site-specific, interactive theatre which Bourjeily has woven together throughout his career. Though located in the dark heart of one of the Middle easts most bloody regimes, 66 Minutes in Damascus also reflects the reality of life under autocratic governments across the world.
