Palmyra

The ancient city of Palmyra was one of the best preserved in the world.

Tourists flocked from around the world to see it – until 2015, when ISIS gained control of the city, destroyed its temples, looted its graves and used its amphitheatre to stage executions.

This performance is an exploration of revenge, the politics of destruction and what we consider to be barbaric; inviting people to step back from the news, it looks at what lies beneath, and beyond civilization.
