A dazzling literary debut, set in the war in Lebanon and the AIDS epidemic

A dazzling literary debut, KOOLAIDS shatters the dimension of time and mimes the chaos of contemporary existence as it details the impact of the AIDS epidemic and the Lebanese civil war on a circle of family and friends.

In clips, quips, memories and hallucinations, tragic news reports and hilarious short plays, diary entries and conversations, KOOLAIDS tells the stories of a group of individuals who can no longer love or think except in fragments of time.

Their dances with death - in wartorn Beirut, with the scourge of AIDS - form a raging affirmation of life.
