Ali Chahrour: When I Saw the Sea
Ali Chahrour's new theater work When I Saw the Sea comes to the Power Center in Ann Arbor on Friday, January 29, at 7:30 p.m., presented by the University Musical Society (UMS). It's built on true stories of survival and resistance, and tickets are available online.
Created by Ali Chahrour, this powerful new piece draws on true stories of survival and resistance.
The work confronts Lebanon's kafala system, which binds migrant domestic workers to their employers and enables widespread exploitation, abuse, and erasure. If you're drawn to theater that takes on hard social questions, this one is for you.
