Institute History
Description
Lebanon 2012. This is the story of Thurayya, an 18-year-old woman who gets pregnant with her communist lover of the same age, Labib. She decides to undergo an abortion. We are in the presence of multiple voices trying to narrate her story by investigating a past she has tried to banish. The play is narrated in a reparative attempt to salvage lost memory fragments related to the abortion and its aftermath.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
