Our Enemies: Lively Scenes of Love and Combat Written by Yussef El Guindi Directed by Patrizia Acerra March 2 – March 30, 2008 A darkly humorous and sensual look at identity, media-representation, love and lust in the Arab American community. Fueled by frustration over the limited Arab voices in the US media, a struggling writer, Gamal, engages in a prank campaign to shake up the system. But those in power have a way of turning the tables. When Gamal's lover, Noor, is convinced by a prominent publisher to alter her novel to satisfy Western hunger for "Orientalist" fare, Gamal lashes out at his own community. The results are staggering. Mature audiences only. Performance Venue: Silk Road Theatre Project at The Historic Chicago Temple Building, 77 W. Washington St, Lower Level, Chicago		Heather Raffo’s 9 Parts of Desire Written and Performed by Heather Raffo Directed by Joanna Settle May 3 – May 18, 2008 Acclaimed across the country, Heather Raffo’s journey into the lives of nine Iraqi women is a riveting, explosive mix of docudrama, lyrical language and mesmerizing performance. This theatrical adventure moves through desire and loss toward a more universal understanding of humanity. Next Theatre Company is proud to bring the Iraqi American playwright and the original director to Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art for the play’s Chicago premiere. Mature audiences only. Performane Venue: Museum of Contemporary Art 220 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago, IL 60611
