  Afghanistan. It's 2004. Farook and Samia broadcast live every day to the whole of Kabul, delivering ninety minutes of musical bliss: Britney, Backstreet Boys and Enrique Iglesias. But when their show starts to make waves, the two young friends must take on repressive forces to build a new Afghanistan.
  Inspired by the true story of Afghanistan's first youth music programme, Waleed Akhtar's play Kabul Goes Pop: Music Television Afghanistan explores a world following the US invasion that is complex, contradictory and shocking – all to a soundtrack of early noughties' pop.
  
  The play premiered at Brixton House, London, in 2022, directed by Anna Himali Howard, before touring the UK. It was presented with HighTide, in association with Mercury Theatre Colchester.

  Fragmented into sixteen excerpts, stories or scenes, this brief work by León focuses on the breakup or a couple of unnamed lovers without explicit gender, swept away by the gale of passion and desire, with the moon as their sole spectator and accomplice, and the presence of a cat that serves as witness to the impulses of a love that is hopelessly undone in the misunderstanding of bodies scorched by the fire of the sexes, The work is a heartbroken cry of a lonely, proud individual, overpowered by his own ego in the face of the loss and abandonment of the one who filled his days. And in the other end, silence, and emptiness as the only response.The whole book is imbued with a deeply moving sentimental tone that strikers with the force of a desperate ritornello.

  A poetry anthology inspired by passion, travel and love. 
  there was presence in the stillness, 
  and stillness in a constant state of transience 
  where inner and outer worlds were shaped and traced 
  by the fading echoes of a single breath left behind; 
  a memoir of moments lingering far and wide 
  mementos hiding in plain sight 
  laying await for the next, 
  new you to find 
  - 
  love letters to places...
