“
KAL & DIJA SAVE THE WORLD is a gorgeous exploration of community. It bursts the form of the interview-based docuplay; it is highly theatrical and imaginative while being full of revolutionary energy. Ibrahim doesn't so much paint a portrait of a neighborhood as she celebrates the individuals that pour their love and ideas into a community. A really special piece of theatre that I'm eager to see produced! ”

An important and sensitive exploration of the citizens of Bay Ridge--Ibrahim creates a personal and eclectic world of longing and hope and humor through verbatim interviews and whimsical flights of fancy. It is a touching play full of truth and dreams. ”

“
KAL & DIJA SAVE THE WORLD is an extraordinary piece that entwines documentary theatre, meta-commentary, and youthful imagination to paint a vivid portrait of Bay Ridge. The piece benefits from a gorgeously complex collection of interviews with Bay Ridge residents, whose views on cultural preservation, assimilation, nationalism, and activism vary widely. Ibrahim shows great skill in how she orchestrates and pairs these interviews, and the work's visual imagination brings us somewhere wilder and more theatrical than one could ever expect. Highly recommend! ”
