Description
I was in the midst of the workshop process for King Lear (Center for New
Theater at CalArts, Los Angeles, 2002). It was 1999 and we were about to approach the catastrophic de´nouement of the fth movement. As I drove to re- hearsal a piece of Arabic music came over the radio. It incited a reverie that
brought back events that had occurred some 10 years earlier. The 5 Freeway
receded into the background as I became immersed in the memory: I had directed a lm version of Crime and Punishment called Astonished. After taking
the lm to the large European and American festivals, I was invited to present
the work in some extraordinary places. One of these was the First International Festival of Film and Television in Baghdad.
