SUMMARY:New Arab American Theatre Works Festival
DESCRIPTION:New Arab American Theatre Works is a new collective of Minnesot
 a-based Arab American theatre artists founded by Taous Claire Khazem\, Kat
 hryn Haddad\, and Mohammed Yabdri. The collective was created to present n
 ew works by Arab Americans\, filling a void in the local and national thea
 tre scene where Arab American artists lack opportunities to present their 
 own stories. This summer's festival is a first-of-its-kind for the Twin Ci
 ties.\n\nSCHEDULE\n\nFriday 6/26\n7pm Road to the City of Apples\n9pm In A

 HE PLAYS\n\n"Road to the City of Apples"\nBy Kathryn Haddad. Directed by D
 ipankar Mukherjee.\nRoad to the City of Apples tells the story of Ahmed an
 d Khairy — two undocumented Palestinians on a road trip from New Jersey 
 to Wisconsin. Their individual stories intertwine as they discover the mea
 ning of friendship and cope with changing cultural norms — both American
  and Arab on their winding road to an American dream. The Israeli occupati
 on\, gay rights\, American treatment of Arabs and Muslims\, and the plight
  of undocumented immigrants are explored in this show.\n\n"In Algeria They
  Know My Name"\nBy Taous Claire Khazem. Directed and dramaturged by Zaraaw
 ar Mistry.\nIn Algeria\, they say you don’t marry one finger\, you marry
  all ten. In this heartfelt and humorous one woman play\, Minnesota raised
  Taous Khazem travels to her father’s homeland to work as a theater arti
 st\, and unexpectedly falls in love with an Algerian clown. Caught in betw
 een traditions\, religions and misconceptions\, Taous struggles to find a 
 sense of belonging in a foreign land\, but ultimately discovers a fresh me
 aning of home\, family\, art and bicycle rides.\n\n"A Clown in Exile"\nBy 
 Mohammed Yabdri with Noah Bremer.\nMohamed Yabdri's tragic clown goes on a
  journey to overcome his sense of cultural inferiority. After searching th
 e world for a place to call home\, he discovers that his dreams sit on the
  wings of a paper plane. A Clown in Exile premiered at the Alliance Franç
 aise in Minneapolis\, MN and went on to perform in Paris at the Algerian C
 ultural Center\, at the National Theatre of Algiers\, at the French Cultur
 al Institutes of Oran\, Tlemcen and Constantine\, Algeria\, and at the 201
 3 Minnesota Fringe Festival.\n\n
