As part of Arts for Palestine takeover week, Drama Society is hosting a reading of the Gaza Monologues, a collection of testimonies written by Palestinian youths under ASHTAR Theatre.
“Thirty-three young people from Gaza believed in 2010, that they have a voice other than the cries of fear and the moans of frustration. A voice that can rise higher than the drones of war and the planes that bombarded them day and night. A voice that says: “Enough!!! We deserve a world better than this, a world without fear, siege or occupation.”
ASHTAR changed the script, replaced the events, and converted the tragic epic to a theatre of action, a theatre built on interaction for the sake of change, arising from our belief that freeing the land begins by freeing the mind.”
Join us for a reading and discussion of selected monologues on 6th December, 6-8PM.
TW: descriptions of death, violence and harm to children.
