Maps for a War Tourist by Sister Sylvester

A Watershed Lab project in partnership with Dixon Place

Saturday, May 13, 2017 / 8:00 pm / Tickets $15 / Preview

This investigative performance follows Ayşe Deniz Karacagil, a young Turkish woman arrested during the Gezi protests of 2013 and sentenced to a maximum of 98 years in prison for wearing a red scarf. Karacagil subsequently escaped across the Turkish border to join the Kurdish resistance movement. Maps for a War Tourist layers original research to question the nature of truth and the allure of the real, while tracing connections between recent events in Turkey and the U.S., between non-violent protest and armed revolution, and between a revolutionary and those bearing witness to her story.

The rising cross-cultural theater company Sister Sylvester using documentary techniques in parallel with fiction to explore relationships of power.
