EVREN ODCIKIN
World Premieres
REORIENT FESTIVAL 2012
Orhan by E.H. Benedict
Birds Flew In by Yussef El Guindi
Golden Thread Productions, San Francisco, CA (2012)
Building on the success of our tenth anniversary festival in 2009, ReOrient 2012 will turn San Francisco into a Mecca for innovative, spirited, and thought-provoking theatre from and about the Middle East. With short plays by playwrights from Iraq, Iran, Egypt, England, and the U.S., the latest ReOrient promises to be a one-of-a-kind exploration of this unique region and its theater, stories, and artists.
"The solo piece Birds Flew In is particularly powerful in Evren Odcikin’s pared-down production, largely due to a riveting performance by Nora El Samahy."
