"Baltimore": Staged Reading

Borinsky and Balabane have collaborated on the development of this play both in Arabic and English translations, within the framework of the project Triangles: Playing across Amharic, Arabic, and English. This mission is Masrah Ensemble's international theatre festival-in-progress which translates and reimagines three plays through a series of residencies and public encounters in Beirut and New York and an array of collaborations with groups and artists in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and the United States.
