The Show
Return to Palestine is directed by Micaela Miranda is co-produced with Dublin Theatre Festival and The Freedom Theatre, Jenin Refugee Camp, Palestine, funded by The Arts Council of Ireland / An Chomhairle Ealaíon. This is the first time that the legendary Freedom Theatre will perform in Ireland.
Return to Palestine centres around Jad, a Palestinian born in America, who goes to Palestine for the first time in his life. Wanting to know more about his people and identity, he finds out that reality is very different from what he has seen on the news.
Return to Palestine is directed by Micaela Miranda and devised together with the ensemble of Graduate actors from The Freedom Theatre School in Jenin. It was created after extensive story-gathering through playback theatre with the communities engaged in The Freedom Theatre’s annual Freedom Ride. It includes stories from Jenin refugee camp and city, Fasayel, Dheisheh refugee camp, Mufaqara and Jabalia Camp in Gaza. In a sarcastic, comic and tragic style, the actors create the space, characters and even the emotional space they live in, with skilled play with their bodies in a very small stage – “as small as Palestine”.
