The Smell Of Apples: The Story of Halabja
by Dahol Kurdish Ensemble with Zirak Hamad
In 1988 5,000 people died in Northern Iraq in an attack on the Iraqi Kurdish town of Halabja.
Using video testimony, theatre and music this performance presents and explores the perspective of those people affected by what is considered to be a modern genocide. Working with the Kurdish community of Birmingham, The Smell of Apples reveals the experience of a new community in the city, a community that is now finding its voice and its way in a very different place.
