Tilka

Overview

Tilka is an intimate portrait of five women navigating multiple crises in Lebanon: prolonged economic collapse, a global pandemic and the aftermath of the Beirut port blast. Najah, Tima, Naim, Rania and Fida meet in March 2021 for an artist’s residency in the mountains outside Beirut, coming together to create an original piece of theatre. As the country grapples with the collapse, they weave together a story inspired by their experiences as women fighting against the odds for their rights, and those of their loved ones.
