Seenaryo II

This was Seenaryo’s second residency with marra.tein, delivering an annual showbuild with Yaabad Scout Group, a self-organised group of scouts from Shatila refugee camp in Beirut. With twenty-five teenagers from the group, in August 2016 we created a show called من ورا الموز  / All Because of the Banana – a look at what happens in a city when humans start behaving like animals – which premiered at Yaabad School in August 2016. As ever with Seenaryo’s work, the play is devised, written and performed by the participants using improvisation and collaborative theatre-making techniques. Much of the brainstorming, song- and script-writing processes took place at marra.tein, where the team was also resident for the duration of the showbuild. Following our day of professional development with our youth trainees from Yaabad Scout Troupe, the play has been independently re-worked and performed at the Ramallah School in Shatila, with five more performances scheduled in the coming months across Lebanon.
