Beskrivning

The first anthology of youth plays from Gaza and the wider Palestinian region, this timely collection ties together nineteen plays produced by Theatre Day Productions, one of the foremost community theatres in the Middle East. Written by playwright Jackie Lubeck, this collection responds to the siege on Gaza and the Israeli military operations from 2009 to 2014, reflecting how Gazan youth deal with trauma, loss and urban destruction.In the nineteen plays within this anthology, the reader and theatrical producer witnesses experiences of a forgotten youth, besieged by a silent international community and a brutal wall. The plays are arranged into five different thematic series, which include family entanglements, loss and the fundamental goodness and resourcefulness of human beings.

Recensioner i media

This volume brings to light a rare theatrical experience from an almost inaccessible Gaza, documenting creative processes shaped by blockade, destruction, and resilience. It restores Jackie Lubeck’s central role in Palestinian theatre and fills a crucial gap in understanding Gaza’s artistic, social, and historical landscape.
