We've Come Undone
Kayhan Irani's multidisciplinary work "We've Come Undone" explores the impact of recent legislation on several communities in the U.S. that are experiencing the trauma of detention, disappearance and deportation. Interweaving drama, dance, music and multimedia, this series of monologues is inspired by stories from Arab-American, Muslim and South Asian communities. From a young girl's bewilderment at her father's disappearance to an INS agent's rant, the characters' truths aim to enlighten and inspire.
"We've Come Undone" will be performed on Friday, Oct. 24, at 7:30 p.m. at the American Friends Service Committee Office (2211 14th St. NW); a discussion will follow the performance. The suggested donation is $10.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
