Recent events have shown us that peace in the Middle East might not be out of reach when the right stars align. Though politically, there’s still a (very) long way to go, theatrically, these reconciliation efforts have been taking place for a while between Arabs and Jews, be it through bi-lingual productions or various attempts to rectify the past, face the present, and perhaps even look to the future with cautious optimism – on stage. Please join us at the online screening of “The Yellow Wind“, an adaptation of David Grossman’s book, which will be immediately followed by a special panel discussion on “Theater and Peace” – what is theatre’s role in bringing nations, groups, and individuals closer together?
