WATERBOARD: a play about torture + The Kominas September 13, 2009

The Institute for Intermediate Studies presents:

WATERBOARD: a play about torture

written and directed by Stephanie Skier
performed by Nadeem Mazen and Stephanie Skier

The original play WATERBOARD: a play about torture aims to create awareness and discussion about waterboarding as a form of torture.

Through live action performance, integrated video, original music and dialogue with the audience, this breathtaking show explores the contemporary politics and history of simulated drowning. The play engages audience members in a conversation that struggles with what it means to live under a government that practices and condones torture.

Performers Nadeem Mazen and Stephanie Skier will waterboard each other during the course of the show.

followed by a show by the Kominas, Boston's favorite Muslim punk band
