Performances are currently running at La Mama's first floor theatre through May 17.

Eleven Reflections on September is performed by a diverse collective of women artists from all over the world including Iran, Turkey, India, Lebanon, the U.S. and more. Written and directed by Assaf, the show features dance artist Donna Mejia and vocalist/Daf player Aida Shahghasemi.

Alongside the performances at La Mama, the project features an interactive installation at Hi-ARTS Gallery in East Harlem. Associated events also include lectures, a dance party and a showcase at the Apollo Theater Soundstage as part of the Women of the World Festival.

"In September 2001, I lived in Manhattan. In addition to mourning with the city, my experience of identity as an Arab American dramatically shifted, overnight," said Andrea Assaf in a press statement. "Through collaboration with these extraordinary artists, the project has evolved into an embodied manifesto on the devastation and empowerment of women in the face of war. We offer this not only as a reflection, but also as an invitation. Art helps us have a dialogue based in shared experience, so that we can arrive at new understandings together."
