King Gilgamesh & the Man of the Wild

KING GILGAMESH & THE MAN OF THE WILD

La MaMa, Downstairs Theatre January 12-15, 19-22 90 Minutes

KING GILGAMESH & THE MAN OF THE WILD
Created by Ahmed Moneka, Jesse LaVercombe and Seth Bockley
A TRIA Theatre and Soulpepper Theatre production
Produced by La MaMa in association with The Public Theater’s Under the Radar Festival

 

KING GILGAMESH & THE MAN OF THE WILD is a one-act theater-music production featuring AHMED MONEKA and JESSE LaVERCOMBE, alongside acclaimed Arabic-maqam / jazz band, MONEKA ARABIC JAZZ. A present-day story of friendship interweaves with the ancient Mesopotamian Epic of Gilgamesh, along the way tracing Ahmed's real life journey from an actor-refugee in a new country to an acclaimed musician at the top of his game. Co-created with director SETH BOCKLEY, and featuring themes of art, ambition, sex, fatherhood, mortality, and identity, this two-man epic spans centuries, cultures, and continents, illuminating the mysteries of love, death, and friendship in a moving, funny, tragic, and ultimately celebratory performance.

On Saturday 1/14 and Sunday 1/15, enjoy an extended concert by Moneka Arabic Jazz immediately following the show.
