World premiere of Mohammed Fairouz's opera (concert version), Sumeida's Song, with the Mimesis Ensemble. 

Sponsored by the Center for Public Scholarship at The New School, in collaboration with the Institute of International Educations Scholar Rescue Fund.

When he's not working in his cousin's concrete business, college dropout Jawdat (Razi Shawahdeh), who lives in a quiet Palestinian town inside Israel, usually spends his free time looking for new women to chat up on his cell phone. 

She stands in front of the mirror, trying to hide her womanly curves and fully aware that she is about to expose herself to danger.

In partnership with the Arab American National Museum and Alwan for the Arts and the Middle Eastern and Middle Eastern American Center (MEMEAC), The Graduate Center, City University of New York.
