Baghdad

This is documentary theater about boys who chase butterflies and men who murder. Chris Keulemans and Enkidu Khaled are actors in this performance who share their place of birth, Bagdad, but there is also a world of difference.

Last year, they both returned for the first time. In this documentary theater performance, they exchange images and experiences: burning cars and gunfire in the chaos of 2005, but also Baghdad in days long gone: a peaceful city with palmtrees and parks.

The question is: Are they telling the truth? Have they kept their memories intact or are they poisoned?
