Today we all performed at the Public Park and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, both for the performers-makers and for the audience that joined us and helped to create this event a very special one. Friends, family, and more than 200 audience members, plus few television crews, photographers and journalists attended the public performance and supported the artists through a journey that started 10 days ago when we all began to make our masks and puppets, and culminated today with a street performance in a central park in Suleimaniyah. The ambient was great, the audience was expectant and the feedback afterwards was quite unique and encouraging. All the merit goes to the 32 performers, and the support team, who worked so hard to produce their very own happening, and performed it in such a passionate, powerful and emotive manner. They made something very beautiful today, and we, the KMPE team, feel very proud of their achievement and honoured to be able to be supporting them. As one of the artists noted, most of them had other daily commitments which they have been juggling around in order to be able to comit with the work we were all developing together. Judging from today's performance, they have all earned a well deserved rest. We really hope this will not be the last time we work together. Congratulations.
