SHRINE is an immersi­ve the­a­ter per­for­man­ce that tells the sto­ry of a daugh­ter who see­ks refu­ge with the Servant Djinns, non-human beings, in a paral­lel world to ours. She, the Daughter, who car­ries the gre­a­test pain, sor­row, and grief, is wan­ted by the govern­ment. Her mother was bru­tal­ly mur­de­red by sys­tems main­tai­ned by peo­p­le and powers. The Daughter wit­nes­sed this; she saw it with her own eyes, and the hor­rors of how her mother was mur­de­red are bur­ned into her reti­n­as. She choo­ses to honest fight for jus­ti­ce and fol­lows the steps of the rule of law. After years of figh­ting for a fair tri­al and jus­ti­ce, she is exhau­sted. Her anger and sad­ness radi­ca­li­ze her in the capi­ta­list world.

Based on Silvia Federici’s work, El Kharraz Alami once again demon­stra­tes how she trans­la­tes essay­is­tic work into acti­on, fin­ding ways to make tan­gi­ble the role of mar­gi­na­li­zed women in our socie­ties. She demon­stra­tes how this leads to alie­na­ti­on and soci­al ine­qua­li­ty and how the strug­gle for radi­cal equa­li­ty deter­mi­nes your posi­ti­on in society.

The his­to­ry of Europe befo­re the Conquest is suf­fi­cient proof that the Europeans did not have to cross the oceans to find the will to exter­mi­na­te tho­se stan­ding in their way.
