Award-winning writer-director Justin Butcher ("Scaramouche Jones", "Madness Of George Dubya") collaborates with Palestinian writer-director-choreographer Ahmed Masoud (founder of Palestinian National Dance Company Al Zaytouna, director of "Ila Haifa"), internationally renowned artist and designer Jane Frere (Return Of The Soul - The Nakbah Project) and acclaimed film-maker, playwright and founder of Zeitgeist Theatre Zia Trench ("credits, blah, blah") to create a highly atmospheric fusion of moving personal testimonies with searing film images, haunting music and soundscape bearing witness to the dignity, courage and suffering of the people of Gaza, performed by a Palestinian and British cast.
This unique event – both celebration and lament – invites audiences, after the performance, to show their support and record personal messages to a people under siege. Supported by the Amos Trust, Jews For Justice For Palestinians and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. 20% of box-office revenue will go to medical aid in Palestine.
