About pity, a film poem
pity, a film poem is an ode to image-making
The medium of film has always been present in the oeuvre of Iraqi Bodies. Never on stage, but as an art form existing alongside the live performances. Alternative universes of the multitude of scenes that are generated in any creative act.
pity, a film poem has been created by Iraqi Bodies’ artistic directors Anmar Taha and Josephine Gray, with the invaluable work of our cast.

About Iraqi Bodies
The work of Iraqi Bodies explores the link between movement and gesture, between dance and physical theater.
