THEATRE, CULTURAL RESISTANCE & THERAPY
 Join Meeting

The next Café on Saturday 28th November (4pm UK / 6pm Palestine) presents an exciting project that has cultural, therapeutic and political importance. Jonathan Chadwick, director of Az Theatre in the UK, has for many years collaborated on projects with Gaza’s Theatre for Everybody run by Hossam Madhoun and Jamal Al Rozzi. Hossam and Jamal coordinate drama and other therapy programmes for traumatised children. Jonathan, Hossam and Jamal will speak about their plans to rebuild the Al Mishal Cultural Centre in Gaza and perform The Emigrants, a play by Stanislaw Mrozek, in a special Gaza adaptation of Mrozek’s play designed for young (18-30 year olds) audiences in Gaza. The Al Mishal Cultural Centre was the only independent, fully equipped theatre venue in Gaza. It was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike on 9th August 2018.



The Cafe will open with live music
at 3.45pm (UK time) / 5.45pm (Pal time)
The discussion will start at 4.00pm (UK time) / 6.00pm (Pal time)
The whole event is expected to last about 90 minutes
