Mon 13 Oct 2003 "The Middle Beast" by Joe Kodeih of Lebanon at La MaMa Experimental Theater Club to 19 Oct 2003 The Middle Beast, created by Joe Kodeih, written by Elie Karam, Joe Kodeih and Marc Kodeih, is at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club until 19 Oct 2003. The Middle Beast created and directed by Joe Kodeih of Lebanon, is a black comedy about three men who meet to negotiate a deal over a piece of land. Before signing the contract, they find a corpse in this land. They don't know what to do with it, so the conflict starts. The three men, nameless, represent symbolically the three monotheist religions of the Middle East. A woman that we see in a different space is in and out of the conflict. Only she knows who the dead man is, but the situation ran out of her control. That's why she interferes to help the three protagonists.
