Smock Alley Theatre, Tuesday 20th May - Thursday 22nd May
This powerful and thought-provoking piece of political theatre was written by Einat Weizman, an Israeli Jewish citizen, in conjunction with two Palestinian political prisoners. It shines light on the plight of Palestinian prisoners, the most hidden victims of the Israeli occupation, focusing on the personal and collective experiences of the prisoners and their families.
The play is the result of a long research process of interviewing and hearing testimonies from prisoners and ex-prisoners, who are actively involved at every stage of the creation of this show. The prison experiences uncovered include interrogations, hunger strikes, solitary confinement and family visits, as well as diving into the prisoners’ consciousness.
The play reveals a harrowing and brutal reality but also an account of human endurance and solidarity.
10% of all ticket sales will go to Addameer, the Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association.
Warnings: This production contains scenes depicting violence, torture, oppression, sexual violence, and the psychological impact of incarceration. Some moments may be intensely emotional and triggering for audiences. Audience discretion advised.
