"War Days"

In Conjunction with "Dying City" directed by Francis Gercke, a series of Michele Guieu's paintings inspired by the war in Iraq is exhibited at the Rolando Theatre.

“The war in Iraq has been an important recent source of inspiration for many of my paintings and digital pieces. Through my process of simplifying images, I try to provide a view of the essence of the event, moment, or place to connect ordinary people to extraordinary situations. Showing this series of work in conjunction with the play “Dying City” at the Rolando Theatre is an exciting experience for me.”
