Galactic Crush II: Into the Cold
In their upcoming performance Stephanie Kayal and Abed Kobeissy revisit their failed crime-fighting duo from their recent work Galactic Crush. Having completely botched their Don-Quixotic mission, they now face total despair as the world crumbles around them. With nothing left to lose, they decide to flee, building a DIY intergalactic spaceship to search for life in another galaxy.
As former antiheroes, and as friends and lovers, they confront an absurd reality with dark humor. In the cold of space, they reflect on their fractured city and distant loved ones, hoping to understand and forgive global failures. They dance as a reminder of home.
