This event will be a sharing of texts and messages we have received over the past few days from our colleagues and friends in Gaza.
Az Theatre (London) and Theatre for Everybody (Gaza) have been in creative partnership since 2009. Az has been in constant contact with our colleagues and friends in Gaza and they have sent us voice messages and texts which describe their experiences of the bombing, the evacuation of the north of Gaza, the conditions in which they find themselves away from their homes and their efforts to get provisions for their families and to help their neighbours and other displaced communities.
This event is a chance to breathe into the personal experiences of Palestinians in the crisis caused by genocidal violence. Listening and bearing witness together we can deepen our sense of solidarity and love.
The readings will be read by the group of artists who have assembled themselves around the GAZA: THERE & HERE project that Az Theatre have been developing in London with Theatre for Everybody in Gaza, including an event in December at P21 and a ‘Listening Circle Event’ in Finsbury Park in September of this year.
Az was in the process of developing a new stage of its collaboration called AUGUST 9th PROJECT (the date in 2018 when the Israeli armed forces destroyed the Al Mishal Cultural Centre in Gaza). It involves 30 creative workshop sessions in 3 centres in Gaza. The people who have sent these messages and accounts are the Co-Directors of Theatre for Everybody, Hossam Madhoun and Jamal Al Rozzi alongside producer/manager Shouq Al Najjar.
