Our guest artist this week is Marcus Youssef, playwright, author, and artistic director of Neworld Theatre, the company that’s presenting Leftovers, Winners and Losers, and Doost to mark its 20th anniversary this spring. Here’s a show he’s looking forward to at the PuSh International Performing Arts Festival:

“At PuSh time I find this a near-impossible task. But if I have to… Rabih Mroué’s Riding on a Cloud. Winner of the Spalding Gray Award, this brilliant Lebanese artist made the moving, beautiful, Kafkaesque Looking for a Missing Employee at PuSh in 2012. Riding on a Cloud features him and his brain-injured brother, who survived a bullet to the head in the Lebanese civil war.”

The PuSh fest presents Riding on a Cloud at Performance Works next Wednesday to Saturday (February 3 to 6).
