Karim Muasher was born in Amman, Jordan, and immigrated to the United States at an early age. He studied theatre at Ithaca College in upstate New York where he received his BFA in Acting. It was here that Karim began to create original work, incorporating comedy, puppetry, and physical theatre. Karim worked at various theatres across New York State, including the Hangar Theatre, Geva Theatre, and in the New York International Fringe Festival, before heading to London to study for his MFA in Lecoq Based Physical Theatre. While in London, Karim continued to create original work, from a scathing satire of the 9/11 terrorist attacks to the adventures of two musically inclined health and safety officers, as well as forming the international theatre company Giant Bird. His work has been called “gleefully low budget”, “bound for great heights”, and “so like life in my head.” Back in the US and based in Astoria, Karim continues to create absurd work out of the realities around him.
