Mariam Habib SAG-AFTRA

 updated reel

• "In telling Maya’s tragic story of a love that was born, consummated, and lost in three hours, Mariam Habib takes over and transforms the entire play into an epic worthy of Martha Graham There is one particular moment – during which Habib is on the verge of collapsing with tears. Instead, she seizes her grief in a high contraction – imagine a knot of sorrow constricting your heart – and stands stone still as tears stream slowly down her face. Habib does not have to work herself into a frenzy or “make” herself cry; she simply stands and emits a pulse of empathy that reduces the audience to a chorus of naked sobs" Juan Michael Porter II BWW Review
