This powerful new play follows two Lebanese sisters, Yara and Mina, who advocate for change in Lebanon. When the 2019 revolution begins, their frustration is turned into action. However, as the year passes, the fire of the revolution wanes, and the country descends further into crisis. This draws a chasm between the sisters and ignites a heated discussion about identity, colonialism, and corruption. On August 4th, 2020, the port explosion rips through their living room, changing everything. The play is both a love letter and a ‘fuck you’ to Lebanon: a dichotomy that every Lebanese person has felt. We don’t know what to feel, but we know it is all valid. A percentage of ticket sales will go to Migrant Workers’ Action, an organisation that supports displaced migrant workers in Lebanon and fights to abolish the Kafala system.
