This program features readings from the plays of four Palestinian theatre makers living and working in Tsi Tkarón:to. In a time of flattened narratives, each playwright’s diverse experiences and styles invites audiences to witness the multiplicity and complexity of their stories, live on stage. A facilitated conversation with the playwrights will follow the readings about their work and what it means for them to create theatre in this moment.
