Performances
Homeless in Homeland
Due to the current escalation of violence in Palestine-Israel, the filming of the solo theater show HOMELESS IN HOMELAND is now being made free to the public. This stunning interdisciplinary documentary-theater about Jewish identity and the occupation of Palestine was created and performed by Sariyah Idan and directed by Shyamala Moorty. Our hope is that it will help answer some people’s questions, provide historical information, context of the contemporary reality, and deeper insight into how identity and emotionality get tied in.
