 of seven artists tells the story of Algerian revolt through archival sourc
 es\, ritual\, original writing\, stage magic and documentary filmmaking. 
 As the ensemble attempts to confront the legacy of this historical perform
 ance\, an overlapping\, intersecting sea of stories unfolds across space a
 nd time\, defying a global legacy of colonization and reclaiming the liber
 atory potential of magic.\n\nThe project is inspired by historical account
 s of the marabouts—Sufi mystics who animated Algeria’s massive revolt 
 against French colonial rule in the 19th century—and by the story of ren
 owned French stage magician Jean-Eugène Robert-Houdin\, who crossed the M
 editerranean on an imperial mission to prove the superiority of European c
 onjuring over the miracles of Algerian rebel mystics and indigenous spirit
 ual leaders. Drawing on archival sources\, ritual\, original writing\, sta
 ge magic and documentary filmmaking\, THE MAGIC BULLET offers an uncanny
  confrontation between the power of illusion and the illusion of power.\n\
