SUMMARY:Film Screening: Queens of Syria
DESCRIPTION:Queens of Syria tells the story of sixty women from Syria\, all forced into exile in Jordan\, who came together in Autumn 2013 to create and perform their own version of the Trojan Women\, Euripides’s tragedy about the plight of women in war. What followed was an extraordinary moment of cross-cultural contact across millennia\, in which women born in 20th century Syria found a blazingly vivid mirror of their own experiences in the stories of a queen\, princesses and ordinary women like them\, uprooted\, enslaved\, and bereaved by the Trojan War. \nView the trailer: \n\nCo-sponsored by:\n\nUCLA Center for the Study of Women\nUCLA School of Theater\, Film and Television\nUCLA Center for Near Eastern Studies\nPromise Institute for Human Rights at UCLA Law\nUCLA First Year Experience
