 Qudz         Recognition Of Sakuntala, The         Shiver

Qudz

Synopsis:
Saddam promised Unity. . . and delivered Collapse. Bush promised Freedom. . . and delivered Chaos. For a young Iraqi soldier, sent on an epic journey down the Tigris, all he has to deliver is Qudz - an enigmatic militia leader - who promises toold the answer to all the country's problems. Merging Conrad's Heart of Darkness with astonishing first-hand accounts, 'Qudz' brings us up close and personal to the everyday lives of Iraqis: sometimes comic, often tragic and always absurd. Blending drama, live music, film, animation and dance, Qudz captures the particular lunacy of living in a warzone.

Shiver

Synopsis:
What happens when a fairytale ends? 5 years after the events of 'The Tempest', Prospero and Miranda are haunted by memories of the island. Using Shakespeare's original language, this new adaptation examines what happens to a father daughter relationship that is scarred by estrangement, manipulation, and the pain of 'disenchantment'.
