1: The Freedom Theatre with 24 Hours for Palestine on Saturday 20 July 2024

Session #1: The Freedom Theatre: Making Art in the Midst of War This session presents the work that The Freedom Theatre continues to produce amidst the worst circumstances the theatre has faced in history. Artistic Director Ahmad Tobasi discusses the current circumstances at the theatre and in Jenin Camp. Two student actors present their perspectives, and Alla Sheheda, actor, comedian, and graduate of the TFT Acting School will perform a selection of his one man play, The Horse. Moderator: Gary M. English (Former Artistic Staff, The Freedom Theatre; Distinguished Professor of Drama, UConn; Visiting Professor Al Quds University, Palestine). Speakers/performers: Ahmad Tobasi (Artistic Director), Alaa Shehada (Actor), and Ranin Odeh and students Chantel Rizkalla, Aya Samara and Naqaa Sammor 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.
