Return to Palestine is based on extensive story-gathering through playback theatre with the communities engaged in The Freedom Theatre’s annual Freedom Ride. The play includes stories from Jenin refugee camp and city, Fasayel, Dheisheh refugee camp, Mufaqara and Gaza. In a sarcastic, comic and tragic style, the actors create the physical and emotional space they live in with their bodies on a very small stage – as small as Palestine.
Cast: Samah Mahmoud, Ahmed Tobasi, Ihab Talahmeh, Raneen Odeh, Adnan Bubli and Nour Dula. Directed by Micaela Miranda. Live music by Samer Abu Hantash.
Performed in Nablus on October 5 at 17:00, in cooperation with the Nablus Municipal Cultural Center. Funded by Sida and presented in partnership with the Palestinian Performing Arts Network.

The Freedom Theatre will visit Kuwait from October 15 to 25, to represent Palestine at the Kuwait Youth Theatre Festival. October, 16, at 20:30, at Dasma Theatre – Salem Al Jumain Street, Kuwait City.
