Michel Abou Khalil provides valuable insights into the role of theater as a catalyst for peace in Lebanon, a country burdened by ongoing tensions. This enlightening discussion, titled "RU Talk: Art and Conflict—The Impact of Theater in Lebanon," will take place both in-person at Residency Unlimited in Brooklyn and online via Zoom. Abou Khalil's recent book, "Art and Conflict: The Impact of Theater in Lebanon," sheds light on how theater serves as a lifeline against violence and everyday trauma, aiding in crisis understanding and long-term reconciliation. Drawing on his personal experience as a theatrical performer who lived through the civil war, as well as his tenure as a cultural attaché at the Swiss Embassy in Beirut, Abou Khalil explores the effectiveness and limitations of theatrical practice in promoting peace and human rights. This informative discussion delves into the history of Lebanese theater, its societal roots, and its impact on peacebuilding in contemporary Lebanon, emphasizing three theoretical fields: catharsis, memory work, and "Art in Conflict," an interdisciplinary approach to conflict resolution and transformation. Join Michel Abou Khalil on December 4, 2023, for a thought-provoking exploration of the transformative power of theater in Lebanon. Admission is free for this event.
