A ONE-MAN SHOW ON PALESTINIAN-ISRAELI IDENTITY
a semi-autobiographical one-man show that portrays the complexities and contradictions inherent in Palestinian-Israeli identity.
During an interrogation by Israeli airport security, he recalls his childhood in Acre, memories of his Jewish and Palestinian grandmothers, of war. Questions surrounding his identity become even further complicated by his imminent marriage to a Jewish American woman.
Written and performed by Ibrahim Miari.
