Beit Byout | 2009

In a black box, two characters and a piece of chalk. They are alone. They play. They draw moments of life, black on white. They make up spaces following their desires.  But at one point, the desire of one suddenly becomes an oppression for the other. They crash to rise up higher. They play at being ‘humans’ with a banal violence like that of children torturing each other in a playground…
