While I Was Waiting
2016
I produced, mixed and mastered the original score for "While I Was Waiting" play, directed by Omar Abusaada.
Deep in coma, on the cusp between consciousness and unconsciousness, Thaim imagines himself a mute observer of both his family crisis and the sweeping changes that are so rapidly transforming his country into a no man's land. Nothing will ever be the same again.
"While I Was Waiting" was performed on renowned stages such as Lincoln Center and Festival d'Avignon.
