Jonas Hassen Khemiri

Something just happened. A car. An explosion. And a city is paralyzed with fear. The goal is to blend in. The goal is to become invisible. There. Now you’re ready.

In this funny and fierce showdown with paranoia, the award-winning Jonas Hassen Khemiri takes us on an intense 24-hour journey inside one young man’s head. What happens when the lines between reality and fantasy, love and fear, criminal and victim, become increasingly blurred?

A car has exploded and a city is crippled in fear. Amor (Shoresh Alaudini, center) walks the streets trying to appear normal. Olivia Rosaldo, Mohammad Shehata, and Denmo Ibrahim (left to right) morph in and out of multiple characters blurring the lines between reality and fantasy, love and fear, and criminal and victim.

Director Evren Odcikin uses a sparse installation art set (designed by Adeline Smith), theatrical lighting (designed by Beth Hersh), and inventive sound (designed by Sara Huddleston) to weave the stream of conscious narrative in I CALL MY BROTHERS. Costumes by Michelle Mulholland. Actors left to right: Olivia Rosaldo, Mohammad Shehata, Shoresh Alaudini, Denmo Ibrahim.
