Overview
A new music score will be presented live on stage for the 70s experimental Egyptian film ZAWGATI WAL KALB directed by Said Marzoiq 1971. The physical loneliness and the mental state of a light house guard, a paranoid man, his desires and his fears is translated into a musical structure that will be the backdrop of the psycho dramatic events of the film. The performance is a dramatic audio-visual interaction that serves a disturbed state of mind, pushing the desires and the fears of the film characters; it is psychodrama in an unprecedented way.
This project was part of Sharjah Biennial 9
