Nubian Stories- The Scratch Seattle Workshop Series
2019-08-22 19:30 - 21:30, 2019-08-20 19:30 - 21:30 UTC | 18th and Union Arts Space, 1406 18th Ave, Seattle, WA, 98122, United States
Nubian Stories
As part of The Scratch Seattle Workshop Series.
Nuba, a Nubian woman who was forcibly relocated from her village in the south of Egypt due to its intentional flooding for the construction of the Aswan High Dam, tells the story of her people through her own incredible biography as well as through the ancient Nubian folkloric tales she grew up with. Based on a true story, Nubian Stories is a play about loss and legacy set simultaneously in the past and present. It transports us to the village for a brief moment and makes us realize how far we are from a not-so-distant history that is being erased.
Nabra Nelson is a theatre creator and community organizer from Nubia, Egypt, and California. She is also the Director of Arts Engagement at Seattle Rep. Playwriting credits include: Induced Labor (ReOrient 2019 honorable mention, Golden Thread Productions), Creation Gossip and Lillith (Heard Space Arts Collective), Nubian Stories (Br!NK New Play Festival, Renaissance Theaterworks), and Minute to Minute and Le Serious Shit (MultiCultural Drama Company). Directing credits include: BLISS (or Emily Post is Dead!) (Renaissance Theaterworks), 26 Miles (UW-Milwaukee), Rep Lab 2016 & 2017 (Milwaukee Repertory Theater), Exile From The Land Of Gold (Tessellate Festival), and Death And The Kings Horseman (reading, American Players Theatre). Dramaturgy credits include: The Who & The What (Milwaukee Repertory Theater), Br!NK New Play Festival 2016 & 2017 (Renaissance Theaterworks), and A Midsummer Nights Dream (Naked Shakes).
Mona Mohi Eddin Hassan Sherif Ali Ahmed Dawood Khalil Debbabea Kakea, also known as Mona Sherif-Nelson, is the founder of the Nubian Foundation for Preferving a Cultural Heritage and the daughter and the heir of Nubia’s cultural leader Mohi Eddin Sherif. She is the mother of Nabrashaa Michael Bennion Clifford Roy Nelson and Shamseddin Michael Bennion Clifford Roy Nelson. She has spent a lifetime studying, documenting, preserving Fadijja Nubian culture and heritage. Mrs. Nelson worked as an Arabic Language Instructor in the International Language Institute (ILI) of Cairo, Egypt and in the Royal Army Institute in the UK. Mrs. Nelson is a member of the Garden Society in Los Angeles, the Nubian Club and the Nubian Preservation Society in Egypt, and the Nubian Document Center in London. Mona is a native-born Nubian-Egyptian and is steeped in Nubian culture. She believes it is her responsibility to keep this vibrant, inspiring culture alive and to share it with people in America and everywhere.
