Exile Theatre, an award-winning company from Afghanistan returns to the USA in May- June, 2009, for the West Coast premiere of Beyond the Mirror, created and performed in collaboration with Bond Street Theatre of New York.
Woven through myths and memories, family stories and first-hand accounts of ordinary Afghans, traditional dances and live music, Beyond the Mirror weaves an intricate tapestry of life in Afghanistan over the last three decades.
“The performance has a quiet authority, even delicacy that is truly powerful.” – Margo Jefferson, The New York Times
