17: Reading Excerpts from Dalia Taha's Fireworks with 24 Hours for Palestine on Sunday 21 July 2024

Session #17: Reading Excerpts from Dalia Taha's Fireworks In a small act of solidarity, students from the AUK Theatre Honor Society (APO) are reading excerpts of Fireworks, a 2015 play, by the Palestinian writer Dalia Taha. Fireworks follows two families living in an abandoned building in a Palestinian town. The Guardian review of the play reads: “This is a compelling example of the power of theater to transport us deep into the human reality of a conflict from which, packaged on our television screens, it is far too easy to turn our minds.” The reading will be followed by a discussion. Moderator: Q-mars Haeri, Lecturer of Theatre and Drama - American University of Kuwait Student Actors: Taiba Al-Husain, Khalifa Bunashi, Sami Fouad Abou Saleh, Nimra Riaz, Nusaybah Al-Menaii, Farah abu Alrub, Mariam Hassan, Farida Amr Hassan, and Seifalla Elgamal, Mahdi Almahdi We come together, from North America to the Middle East and across the world, to speak out against genocide, forced displacement, cultural erasure, the murder of civilians, and the systematic silencing of Palestinian voices, narratives, and heritage. We call for an immediate and permanent end to Israel’s genocidal military campaign against the Palestinian people, funded by United States tax dollars. We call for an end to Israel's apartheid system and its illegal occupation of Palestine. We call for the complete and unequivocal liberation of the Palestinian people, including the right of return. And we call on our global theatre community to stand with us, and to speak out with us, against genocide and for justice and liberation. We call on you to stand on the right side of history.
