Curfew Conversations
Screening with Artist Talk
March 13, 2011, 7pm
Townhouse Gallery Cairo, Egypt
- The Negotiation (with Azin Feizabadi), 2010, 38 min. HD Video, produced by HKW Berlin
- Curfew Conversations, 2011, work in progress, ca. 15 min. HD Video, produced by Townhouse Gallery Cairo

Current Townhouse Gallery resident Kaya Behkalam will, among other works, show two recent videos, one of which has been produced during his stay in Cairo. Both films negotiate the question in how far we can imagine and create patterns of enactment beyond the known – emancipated from the past.
In “The Negotiation” a group of actors rehearse a play set in an unnamed revolutionary setting; they are confronted with the problematic relationship between language and action, the theatrical and the political. “Curfew Conversations” makes the empty streets of post-revolutionary Cairo after midnight the center stage of a dialogue on (sub)conscious connections between collective dreamscapes and political agency.
