Ibda’a Theatre Program

This project was formed in February 2014 by a group of children. Their goal is, to give the children the opportunity to express their feelings and struggles through their performances. Theater will give them the chance to prove their childhood and identity as a Palestinian (refugee) child. One of the shows that the group produces is called “Hathayan” and shows the Palestinian situation through special movement and words. It is part of Mahmoud Darwish’ poem “A’adfi Kafan”, which is about a farewell between a mother and her son who gets martyred by Israeli soldiers.
