An evening reflecting upon the resilience of Palestinians in Gaza, including extracts from the diaries of writers Nahil Mohana, Sondos Sabra, Ala'a Obaid and Atef Abu Saif. Presented by Comma Press, this is a performance of testimonies from people experiencing what Amnesty International has called "alarming signs of genocide".
Diary entries will be accompanied by traditional Arabic music performed by Ahmed Adnan and a visual score by Gazan filmmaker Hossam Abo Shamallah.
The show features performances by Nabil Elouahabi (Trigger Point, Blue Lights), Maxine Peake (Keeping Rosy, The Falling), Yusra Warsama (Castle Rock, Deliver Me) and poet Hind Shoufani.
