Shaista Latif, Osama Shalabi and Isak Goldschneider offer a re-creation and multimedia conception of the movie Like Eagles (Mānand-e 'Oqāb).

In this show, a team consisting of the playwright/librettist Shaista Latif, the composer Osama Shalabi, the conductor/arranger Isak Goldschneider and the ensemble Land of Kush imagine a multimedia re-creation and conceptualisation of Like Eagles (Mānand-e 'Oqāb): the first film produced in Afghanistan. It is an exquisitely surreal vision of Kabul in the 1960s, following a young girl as she travels through the city on a journey from her hometown to attend a day of national celebration.

In light of tragic events in Afghan history, the project confronts Western stereotypes of Afghanistan in a stage work combining music, text and film.
