Nine Parts: A One-Woman Film About the Lives and Loves of Iraqi Women

from NYUAD Institute · host NYUAD Institute

Nearly 20 years ago Heather Raffo’s play, 9 Parts of Desire, premiered to widespread acclaim in London and Off-Broadway, later becoming a global theatrical phenomenon. Now, Raffo adapts her multi-award winning solo play about Iraqi women for the screen and for our current time. With a radical retelling, she brings these stories from Iraq to Michigan, offering a celebration of the Iraqi female experience and an explicit warning—the divisions Iraq endured are not unique, Iraq is a bellwether for America now. Directed by Mike Mosallam Produced by Nilou Safinya In collaboration with People's Light Theater and Detroit Public Theater Image credit: Skylar Landsee Speaker Heather Raffo, Actor and Playwright In conversation with Catherine Coray, Arts Professor, NYU Tisch School of the Arts Nilou Safinya, Producer, "Nine Parts"; Founding Board President, Noor Theatre Company
