The Last Play In Gaza – June 11-21

ABOUT

The Last Play in Gaza reconstructs The Emigrants by Sławomir Mrożek, the last play performed in Gaza before everything was destroyed. Two Palestinian actors step into the roles of their Gazan counterparts, attempting to revive what has been erased. Yet each time the play draws close to reenactment, it is interrupted by testimonies from the genocide written by Hossam Al-Madhoun, the original Gazan actor in The Emigrants. On screen, fragments of the lost performance flicker; on stage, actors struggle to reclaim those moments. Out of this tension emerge confessions from artists whose voices and identities face erasure, weaving their own biographies with Mrożek’s themes of exile, displacement, and the endurance of Palestinian theatrical memory
