UNSEEN
BY MONA MANSOUR | DIRECTED BY JOhanna gruenhut
MAR 30 – APR 23, 2023
American conflict photographer Mia wakes up in her ex-girlfriend’s Istanbul apartment and doesn’t recall how she got there, although the contents of her camera might. A cross-cultural, time-shifting journey ensues as Mia pieces together the details of her past and wrestles with the costs of her profession. Unseen welcomes Mansour back to DC following Mosaic’s acclaimed debut production of The Vagrant Trilogy, which was produced Off-Broadway by The Public Theater in April 2022.
“Thought-provoking, challenging and complex. Those attributes alone make Unseen worth seeing, but it’s all that and more.”
—ASHLAND NEWS
Unseen is generously underwritten by Deborah Carliner & Robert Remes, Ed Grossman & Rochelle Stanfield, Joan P. & David O. Maxwell, Elaine Reuben and The Timbrel Fund, and Stephen Stern & Margaret Hahn Stern.
This production runs approximately 90 minutes without an intermission.
