This theater production is sponsored by the School for Conflict Analsyis and Resolution and School of Policy, Government, and International Affairs
By Shachar Pinkas and Shay Pitovsky
Directed by Michael Bloom
The youth ensemble of Habimah, Israel's national theater, created this documentary-infused kaleidoscope chronicling the waves of Sudanese refugees who crossed the desert to enter Israel legally and illegally, finding themselves stranded in a drama of relocation and displacement. Adapted for an American troupe and staged by the former artistic director of the Cleveland Play House, Michael Bloom (Off-Broadway’s Sight Unseen), this story personalizes a history of immigration and asks pointed questions about race and the limits of empathy in a welcoming society. Part of the Voices From a Changing Middle East Festival, this production will take place in Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company's 100-seat Rehearsal Hall from Febraury 16th - 28th and is touring area universities February 29th - March 6th.
