There are plans afoot to develop this into an Opera of 2 Acts in collaboration with writer Mine Kaylan
“At some very basic level imperialism means thinking about, settling on, controlling land you do not possess, that is distant, that is lived on and owned by others” Edward Said, ‘Culture and Imperialism’
