Soul Seekers is a performance integrating video and technology that aims to reconcile the desires of past, preset, and future in humanity. The integrated video was created from a six-week stay at an asylum (where he was previously a resident) in which time Mokhallad interviewed and created the film with fellow refugees. Asylum in this sense is referring to the holding place of those seeking asylum from war-torn countries.

A Note from the Playwright:
This piece is for the universal black girl who society has taught to un-love aspects of herself— to un-love, question, or curse the various ways her black beauty is expressed —and who has not yet been given space nor time to deal with the layers of that trauma.
