Sounds of Desire features selections from the internationally recognized, award winning play 9 Parts of Desire by Raffo. Together with musician Amir ElSaffar, Raffo presents a theatrical portrait of the extraordinary (and ordinary) lives of a cross-section of Iraqi women: a sexy painter, a radical Communist, doctors, exiles, wives and lovers. This work delves into the many conflicting aspects of what it means to be a woman in the age-old war zone that is Iraq. The work is an unusually timely meditation on the ancient, the modern and the feminine in a country overshadowed by war.
