MESSAGES FROM GAZA NOW - HOSSAM’S STORY

  Share:

Thursday, 11th July 2024 | 19:00-21:30

 

 

This is a reading by theatre artists and others of accounts sent by Hossam Madhoun from Gaza since October 2023. This special selection tells the epic story, from the third day of the war onwards, of his struggle to hold on to his dignity, humanity and truth during the course of the genocide. Describing his displacement from his home in Gaza, living with his wife’s family in Nuseirat, further displacement to Rafah and securing a passage to Cairo where his only daughter was studying, these texts are a summary of his experiences and feelings.

They can help us reflect on an overall picture of what has happened in Gaza. There will be a conversation after the reading.

We are offering encouragement to activist groups and cultural organisations to work with Az Theatre to present this programme elsewhere. Please contact us if you are interested.

Hossam Madhoun and Jamal Al Rozzi are co-directors of Theatre for Everybody in Gaza with whom Az Theatre has been in partnership since 2009. As well as theatre artists, Hossam is a Child Protection Programme Manager and Jamal is CEO of an organisation that specialises in providing services for people with disability.

All of Hossam Madhoun’s MESSAGES FROM GAZA NOW can be found online in English and other languages. Visit www.aztheatre.org.uk

Az Theatre and Theatre for Everybody are seeking to develop the next stage of our joint project, GAZA:REPAIR & RETURN, using theatre in conjunction with other arts and skills to work with the communities of Gaza to repair lives, regenerate the environment and return people to where they want to live.
