Künstlerinnen: Under the Starry Afghan Sky collective
AY KASH IF ONLY
Under the Starry Afghan Sky are eleven young women aged between 15 and 23 living in Afghanistan under Taliban rule. The collective evolved out of the work of Herat Online School founded by the educational activist Angela Ghayour who herself fled Afghanistan in 1992 and is facilitated by Rachel Karafistan of Cosmino Productions.
AY KASH / IF ONLY is a hybrid performance featuring live on-stage action and filmed "interaction" with eleven young women in Kabul and Herat, Afghanistan. Their true identities will remain hidden because it is simply too dangerous to do otherwise, but what they want to tell you will be given life and poetic space. And they want to tell you many things: they want to tell you the history of their country from their perspective, their personal stories since the Taliban have taken power, the stories of their mothers, their grandmothers and their hopes and dreams for the future.
