ZaMZaM Arts presents:
The Gilgamesh
Project featuring
Kinan Azmeh and Kevork Mourad
The current unrest in the seat of the world’s oldest
civilization inspired Kinan Azmeh and Kevork Mourad to explore
the oldest known work of literature, The Epic of Gilgamesh. The
Epic of Gilgamesh is a lush story rich in meaning, romance, and
humor about one man’s search for peace and his place in the
world. The story begins with King Gilgamesh, surveying his
Kingdom of Uruk (now Iraq) some 5000 years ago….
Come enjoy a very unusual performance art piece as Kinan Azmeh
and Kevork Mourad retell the Epic of Gilgamesh through live
original music and live illustrations projected on a big screen.
The world’s oldest known epic will be brought to life in the
present: through new musical forms, and through a new form of
visual art exploring the permanence of lines on paper in the
impermanence of projection.
