EVE

Silk Road Cultural Center is proud to partner with the Arab American National Museum, Mizna, and the National Performance Network to present EVE, a new performance by George Abraham and Fargo Nissim Tbakhi.

EVE is a collaborative performance project which deconstructs John Milton’s Paradise Lost and the biblical Adam & Eve story, through the lens of Palestinian liberation. Using puppetry, movement, poetry, and song, EVE queers, disrupts, re-imagines, and stitches together multiple timelines: from pre-Adamic origin stories to Milton’s life to the existential and lonely spaces of the Palestinian diaspora. At a juncture where Ars Poetica meets myth, EVE links seemingly disparate histories to a more hopeful and vibrant sense of future and homeland.
