Press Release

The Unfinished Show is unconventional performance, created and conceived by Ommi Theatre director
Niz Jabour.

It is about three passengers who meet in an unknown place, trying to find their way to their destination.
The performances bring the stories of the Iraqi people together with the narratives of war and living during war and searching for peace in a variety of stylisations such as mime, song, tones, rhythm and spoken words.

The unfinished show title comes from his argument that there is never finished forms of art and every creative action carries the seeds of another possibly uncompleted action and ultimately how the show will play out will depend on the audience context, their knowledge and their own personal understanding of things that each could possibly bring with them
to the theatre space.

This incarnation of the “ongoing performance” is created in a collaboration between four Iraqi Artists,  Ayad Al-qaraghuly, sculpture and visual artist,
Istenad Hadad , a poet and film director and writer, Hydar Al-hajajj, Theatre director, actor and writer
and Niz jabour, each one bring his own interpretation to their own personal narratives in performance.

Still the Audience is there and so in this way each unfinished show is played out. One after the other, searching to bring the audience and performers together trying to finish the unfinished show.

Niz jabour is an internationally acclaimed writer, performer and artist and he is currently a PHD student at Curtin University working on his project title
”Iraqi Memory  in Performances” and this performance is an introductory to his work.

The show will presented at Curtin University of technology, Hayman Theatre on Monday the 19/10/2009 at 7 pm. Everyone is welcome and
tickets can be purchased by donation
