THE MUSEUM / المتحف

by Bashar Murkus / Khashabi Theatre

He was sentenced to death by lethal injection, after committing a mass shooting in a museum of contemporary art. 49 children and their teacher were killed. His original plan, to be killed by the police inside the museum, has failed. He was arrested, interrogated, and sentenced to death. For the execution to be carried out, he had to wait for seven years.
A week before the execution, he insists on meeting the detective who investigated his case. He convinces him to be the last person he meets and to join him for his last supper.
At the final evening the two men meet alone in a locked room in the building where the capital punishment will be carried out.

This meeting allows them both to play risky and manipulative games. Games that can only be played at a last night. Games in which they search for the meaning of the death they desire.Hash, A theatrical work for one lonely actor, the story of a body getting larger in a tiny room.Have you ever wondered what might happen if a person stopped doing? If they simply stayed where they were? Would they keep growing? Or become rooted to the spot? What would happen to their memories, their future—and their present? HASH attempts to answer these questions by observing a person so immobilised by fear that venturing outside has become impossible. HASH watches as his body grows and he searches for his life story within the confines of a tiny room.
