Jarideh
009_00 / 28 May 2015
Jarideh (2010) is a one-on-one performance set in a public café where no one other than the audience member knows that a performance is taking place. It is a secret encounter and a highly suspicious mission designed by artist Tania El Khoury and performed by herself and her partner in crime, the participating audience member.
Jarideh is inspired by spy film aesthetics, the Metropolitan Police's terrorism awareness report, and resistance operations made in the past by Lebanese women.
