Stephanie Kayal / Abed Kobeissy – Galactic Crush 2: Into the Cold

In Galactic Crush 2: Into the Cold Stephanie Kayal and Abed Kobeissy flee to space after a failed mission on earth. This absurd sci-fi performance blends humor and music with sharp reflections on war, responsibility and escape. War, genocide and an uncertain future make the idea of another planet suddenly attractive. Also for Lebanese choreographer Stephanie Kayal and musician Abed Kobeissy. When the mission of their bumbling hero duo fails and the world around them collapses, these self-proclaimed crime fighters build an improvised spaceship and flee to an unknown star system. But is it fair to leave when others remain behind? Can you look away when the weakest must face injustice anew every day? Kayal, who shuttles between Brussels and Beirut, creates politically engaged work on the border between hope and disenchantment. Musician Abed Kobeissy explores various genres from Beirut for stage and film projects. Packaged as absurd science fiction, Galactic Crush 2: Into the Cold forces sharp political reflection. Pitch-black humor is the shield with which the makers arm themselves against the merciless world outside.
