The Freedom
Theatre was built in the heart of the Palestinian resistance in Jenin
Refugee Camp in 2006. The aim was to create a political and artistic
movement of theatre and film makers who could fight the Israeli
Occupation through art and use cultural resistance as a tool to fight
oppression. Due to the provocative nature of the work the theatre has
had its building attacked, received numerous death threats, had its
members interrogated and imprisoned and in 2011 the theatre’s
Artistic Director Juliano Mer Khamis was murdered. Despite this the
theatre has managed to tour their work internationally as well as
open many productions in Jenin Refugee Camp where it is based.
The
discussion will be led by Nabil Al-Raee. Nabil was born in Alrob
refugee Camp in Palestine and is an actor, director and teacher. He
has worked at The Freedom Theatre since 2006 and took over as
artistic director when Juliano Mer Khmais was murdered.
The evening
will also include the documentary Arna’s Children which was
directed by Juliano Mer Khamis telling the story of a Palestinian
theatre group that was established by his mother Arna in Jenin.
Juliano went on to found The Freedom Theatre, leading the artistic
vision for six years until he was murdered in 2011.
