<br>"WATER
BOARD: a play about torture" aims to create awareness and discussion
about waterboarding as a form of torture. Through live<br>action
performance, integrated video, original music and dialogue with the
audience, this breathtaking show explores the contemporary<br>politics and history of simulated drowning.<br><br>Performers Nadeem Mazen and Stephanie Skier each waterboard the other during the course of the performance.<br>
<br>Exploring
the eerily whimsical linguistic connotations of the recently coined
term ?waterboarding?, the performers play on slip?n?slides and toss
beach balls while singing about ?enhanced interrogation<br>techniques."<br></div>
