Reflection Session #15: Meet the Artists! Eleven Reflections: San Antonio

Special Guests: Anna De Luna and Kauthar Harrak-Sharif 

Tuesday, November 9, 2021

6-7:30pm Central / 7-8:30pm Eastern

Our November episode will feature co-creators and performers in the upcoming stage production of Eleven Reflections: San Antonio, Anna De Luna and Kauthar Harrak-Sharif, with excerpts from their show My Arab Fall, an original multi-media theatrical performance connecting Egypt’s Arab Spring to the plight of Latinas in the age of #METOO or #YOTAMBIEN. We'll also screen Andrea Assaf's "Autumn Stream" from the digital production of Eleven Reflections on September, and discuss the resonance of these works now. We invite you to join the conversation! 

The Carver Community Cultural Center is excited to present the premiere of a new, community co-created theatre work, Eleven Reflections: San Antonio, the culmination of a multi-year residency with artist and founder Andrea Assaf, an award-winning Lebanese American poet, actor, theatre director, and cultural organizer. As part of Art2Action’s larger initiative, Eleven Reflections on the Nation (supported in part by the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Arts “Building Bridges” program), the Carver’s presentation makes San Antonio the first city in the new national series. Eleven Reflections: San Antonio builds on and evolves from Assaf’s previous work, Eleven Reflections on September, a multi-media performance piece based on a series of Assaf’s poems which examine the Middle Eastern American experience in the post-9/11 era.  Working in collaboration with San Antonio artists of various genres and other residents, Assaf will direct the local ensemble in sharing their personal experiences and examining the wide-reaching impact and aftermath of 9/11.

Eleven Reflections: San Antonio premieres as a one night only event on November 20th, 2021. Get your tickets here!
