About the Project
Funded by Hollywood Pantages Theatre and County Supervisor Lindsey P Horvath.
“Equal parts hilarious and heartfelt…remarkably intimate, cleverly crafted.” —Autostraddle
Eat, pray, bathe with Edib Farhan’s bumptious, towel-clad, mustachioed ancestor in an intergalactic bathhouse in the afterlife. Find out if you are your ancestor’s wildest dreams–or worst nightmare…he has notes! Receive channeled advice, poetry, and a surprise visit from a traditional Syrian bathroom slipper (which may or may not be a metaphor for life under fascism). Underneath the silliness and suds, Syrian Soap is a love letter to revolution and unlocking joy and self-expression in a world on fire. And a reminder…your healing goes back 7 generations—but so do your f*ck-ups!
Directed and co-devised by Natasha Mercado.
Creative consulting from: Zahra Noorbakhsh, Claire Woolner and Mike Rose
“A cathartic absurd, multidimensional, surrealist poetic exploration of intergenerational grief, trauma, diaspora, and identity. Genuinely some of the best art I’ve ever experienced. I felt so lucky to be there.” -Paradise, LA-based artist & musician
