Three plays are included in the volume, two full-length and one monologue, which also features essays on Pina Bausch and Paul Klee, a songbook, a poem on Mayakovsky, and other writings. A selection of Adnan’s paintings and drawings is also included as an 8-page color portfolio.

This event is free and open to the public.
