Hello everyone,
I am currently working on conceptualizing a new project titled "Campfire" which will be a tribute to the art of storytelling with universal themes related to Egypt in the past (Ancient Egypt), present (personal accounts), and future (a not-yet written horror novel).
One of the main themes that will be tackled in the stories is FIRE: physical fire, the element, and the symbol (the Sun, a deity, and energy).
The aim of the project is the revive the art of storytelling in a friendly Campfire context.
The world of the performance is post-apocalyptic, therefore, mysterious and vague, but full of positive messages.
The performance will be interactive. So audience participation is a MUST.
And it will be largely improvised with only some scenes pre-written.
There shall be live music (mixing oriental music with electronica), live visual arts (possibly painting), and live dancing (or movement).
There will also be media projected behind the audiences who will be sitting in a circle on the floor surrounding an artificial bonfire.
3 performers are needed: past, present, and future.
And 2 musicians: one who can play with an oriental instrument and one who can produce sounds and music electronically.
The languages of the performance will be English, French, and Arabic.
It's a plus if one of the performers is either a singer, dancer, or painter.
Performance will be in Cairo, Egypt. Venue: unknown.
If you are interested to work on the project, please don't hesitate to contact me at: alternativeartegypt@yahoo.com
Thank you!!!
