A special workshop production—10,000 Balconies is a new play, conceived, created and directed by Kholoud Sawaf (director of T2’s Vietgone), loosely inspired by Romeo and Juliet, and set in modern Syria. 10,000 Balconies is an intimate window into the oldest continuously-inhabited city in the world, suffused with its poetry, music, dance, and movement, and centered on a story of love in contemporary Damascus.
