Spanning disciplines of theater, performance, music, and visual art, Rabih Mroué’s work engages with the contemporary politics of the Middle East and the enmeshed history of discord in the region, often drawing from his personal experience of the Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990). Here, Mroué discusses a trio of projects presented at the Walker: Again we are defeated, a gallery presentation of visual works (on view through February 20, 2020); the lecture-performance Sand in the Eyes (presented on January 10, 2019), and Borborygmus, a theater work by Mroué, Lina Majdalanie, and Mazen Kerbaj, a Walker-commissioned work premiered in January 2019 as part of the Out There festival.
