The Athens Area Arts Council and the Athens Institute for Contemporary Art co-present a special evening with international playwright and performing artist Monirah Hashemi, who currently lives in exile in Sweden from her homeland of Afghanistan. Hashemi will perform a workshop version of “Sitaraha—The Stars,” a one-woman production delivering the heart-wrenching stories of three women and their wartime experiences during separate historical periods in Afghanistan. Though their destinies are marked by oppression and grief, Hashemi transforms their perseverance through expressive song and dance. The performance will be followed with an audience discussion led by AAAC President Nance Daniels.
