This is perhaps the most noble aim of poetry, to attach ourselves to the world around us, to turn desire into love, to embrace, finally what always evades us, what is beyond, but what is always there – the unspoken, the spirit, the soul.

Gawash Camp Concert: Surprise Refugee Camp PerformanceCellist Ani Kalayjian reached out to me one day while I was filming in Shatila refugee camp in the heart of Beirut. She would be coming to town with an ensemble of musicians from around the world to play in the prestigious American University of Beirut (AUB) annual winter concert.

I'd been obsessed with the French production company early in my career for their well-known A Take Away Show, where they placed famous musicians in public places in Paris to spontaneously perform, not knowing the outcome or how they would be received. This would be my first chance at creating A Take Away Show for refugees in the camp. Read more
