On Tuesday, March 11, 2014 at 9am CST/10am EST (5pm Baghdad time) the University of Iowa will link up with the University of Baghdad to present Book Wings, a live bilingual (Arabic/English) collaborative theatre project that uses the latest new media technologies to bring together actors, writers, directors, translators, and stage spaces 6,500 miles apart to produce one unified theatre experience, presenting 6 newly commissioned plays. The performance will be live-streamed (free and viewable by anyone with an internet connection), with a 20 minute talk-back session featuring participating playwrights, directors, and actors, immediately following the performance.
