Crossing the Water is a chronicle of life under military occupation, told through a powerful blend of live storytelling, shadow play, projections and puppetry. This solo performance interlaces personal memory with historical events, following the journey of a small family and their comrades as they flee the Israeli invasion of Beirut in 1982. At once intimate and political, this autobiography reflects on survival, resistance and the weight of memory. Crossing the Water is the second installment in a trilogy exploring the decline of the Lebanese left at the end of the twentieth century.
