Synopsis:
A juxtaposition of Gibran Khalil Gibran’s solitude and the director’s personal experience tied to exile. “Black Flowers” is a piece where genres intertwine, blending text, dance, and video—an invitation to embark on a journey through a wandering memory unrestricted by time or place. The play reveals the strangeness of contemporary man and his ability to communicate with others.
