Farah Salem performs Mirage as part of the exhibition programming of The Land Between The Sea . The performance titled Mirage takes on a participatory performance approach and is centered around a childrens' game named "Baar/Bahar" which is common in Kuwait. “Baar” means dry desert, and “Bahar” means sea. The game is based on shifting body postures in response to the changes of the landscape (desert/sea). In this performance I explored Kuwaiti folklore rituals, language and other elements of these landscapes, as well as philosophical understanding of play and abandon while interacting with the audience.
