Since 2011, writer/director Bashar Murkus and playwright/producer Khulood Basel have been working together at Khashabi Theatre/Palestine, which they founded in the Palestinian neighborhood of Haifa. Their large-scale choral play, Milk, was previously presented at 13 vents. This time, it's a more intimate form, where two characters cross paths: an old man who hasn't found anyone to come and talk to him that evening, with the exception of a young man who usually engages in sexual activities for money.
There will be no sex, but a conversation that everyone seems to need. The old man has no memory, and tomorrow he'll have forgotten everything, so everyone is free to open up, reveal and transform themselves. The play raises the question of solitude, of the harm we can do to others and to ourselves in order not to be alone, of our memories and their influence on our actions, but also of what can happen when we think our actions will not be judged.
