English language broadcast - Canadian film director Kathy Wazana and American theater director Peter Sellars

Shereen Dajani meets Canadian film director Kathy Wazana at the Tangier film festival, whose 12th edition was held recently with 19 feature films. The film by Kathy Wazana, who is of Moroccan origin, tells the story of the exodus that virtually emptied Morocco of its Jewish population, many believing they were no longer safe in their Arab homeland. Then Gil Carbajal talks to theater director Peter Sellars about two operas that premiered recently at Madrid's Royal Opera House, el Teatro Real, with stage directing by Sellars. Both operas are by Russian composers--Tchaikovsky's "Iolanta," and Stravinsky's "Perséphone." The link to the Teatro Real's website is: www.teatro-real.com/
