Othello (vs the military industrial complex) will be showing at Icebox Project Space starting September 20th - September 22nd.

In this bold and fresh adaptation, a timeless tragedy unfolds with the vibrant energy of EDM raves against the backdrop of the increased tensions in the West Bank and Gaza from over 10 years ago.

It’s 2014, and Othello has largely been integrated into Israeli culture after entirely renouncing his Palestinian heritage as a young teenager. However, when he draws the jealousy and hatred of Iago, his past doesn’t let him go.
 
This innovative reimagining thrusts Othello into the role of a Palestinian ex-Muslim IDF soldier, grappling with identity, loyalty, and unsuccessful assimilation amidst the last deadly military incursion into Gaza. Featuring original composition from Palestinian composer, Fouad Dakwar, Philadelphia’s youngest and greatest talents, as well as verbatim affidavits from Palestinian political prisoners, Othello’s caustic unraveling is coming to the Icebox Project Space this September.
