21 October | 11:00 – UNITER, Savart Restaurant
A masterclass by Corinne Jaber about her creative process for “Oh My Sweet Land”, and her research, in particular the work with the Syrian refugees and oral history.
Corinne Jaber is of Syrian/German heritage and was born in Munich and raised in Canada and Germany. She is an award-winning actress as well as a writer/director. She has been part of many international theatre productions in English as well as in French, such as – to name but a few – Peter Brook’s “The Mahabharata”, “A Dybbuk for 2”, by and with the late Bruce Myers, Irina Brook’s “Beast on the Moon” (for which she obtained a Molière the best actress award in France) and more recently the monologue “Oh My Sweet Land”. For many years, she has worked with Afghan actors in Kabul on Shakespeare. Their work culminated in a production of “Comedy of Errors” at the Globe to Globe Festival for the Globe Theatre in London. Her play “The Bus that didn’t stop on the Partition of India” has now developed into her very first film “Borderlines” which she also produced and directed. She is currently in the process of post-production. “Munich Medea: Happy Family”, her most recent play, will premier in New York in 2024.
Corinne Jaber presents “Oh My Sweet Land” at the 33rd edition of the Romanian National Theatre Festival.
