Peace/Piece of Mine

Based on the one-act monodrama ‘Request Concert’ published by Franz Xaver Kroetz in 1973, ‘Peace/Piece of Mine’, conceived and performed by Miriam Ibrahim, is the portrayal of a spectacularly unspectacular suicide.

Peace/Piece of Mine invites the audience to accompany this woman during the last few hours of her mundane life. A wordless story of isolation, loneliness, desolation and unfulfilled desires is told through the actress’s physical enactment of the protagonist’s internal struggle. Accompanied by David Salazar’s and Carla Fabiani’s original music and performed on a plain, unpretentious set, Peace/Piece of Mine asks us to listen for the silent scream that all too often remains unheard.
