SAVE THE DATE(s): FROM 26th MAY TO 1st JUNE!
Starting with Application 39, by Ahmed Masoud, a play about Gaza winning the rights to host the 39th Summer Olympics in 2048 after two IT Department employees at the municipality of Gaza, submit an application to the International Olympic Committee as a joke. The night will continue with Peace de Resistance, a play that will make you wonder RESISTANCE AS COMEDY – or is it comedy as resistance? The first one is in all caps so it must be that. You can run from resistance but it will always catch up with you – as Sami Abu Wardeh finds out in Peace De Resistance: his second hour of comedy-theatre. Come and join his open call for mass civil disobedience, equitable distribution of hand puppets and more! Find out once and for all: can resistance actually be funny? We’ll also have Return to Palestine, by Micaela Miranda and the Freedom Theatre, a truly captivating show about Jad, a Palestinian born in America, who goes to Palestine for the first time in his life wanting to know more about his people and identity. Last but not least, Manjal, a dabke performance that will make you unable to sit still by the Tarweedeh Collective and Nabad Troupe!
