SLOW #01

SLOW#01 - Sabrina Mahfouz
British-Egyptian writer, (slam) poet, performer and playwright Sabrina Mahfouz will be the main guest during our first SLOW evening. Following residencies and productions in New York, Glasgow and Manchester, she won the Fringe First Award (Edinburgh). She was commissioned by The National Theatre of Great Britain to create a performance about freedom of speech in Egypt.

Feminism, social justice and gender equality and inequality are recurring topics in her work. Apart from the inspiration that Brussels will offer her, these themes will undoubtedly form the thread in the first KVS SLOW evening.

Sabrina Mahfouz recorded an exclusive audio blog for KVS.
