The Freedom Theatre recently welcomed Al-Harah Theatre from Beit Jala to perform their latest play, Hetalieh.
Hetalieh is the story of Yousef, a little child from the small city of Bethlehem, whose biggest dream is a great bowl of Hetalieh – a traditional Palestinian dessert. Although his parents can hardly afford such luxuries, today Yousef, with both his parents are preparing a huge portion of the delicious dessert. For some reason, it disappears, and the boy is in big trouble….The play is based on the original autobiography “The First Well: A Bethlehem Boyhood” by Jabra Ibrahim Jabra.
The performance aims to familiarise young children with theatre and during the finale, the children in the audience are invited to join the three actors on stage to prepare another batch of Hetalieh.
Thank you to our friends at Al-Harah Theatre for bringing the play to Jenin and we look forward to working together again soon!
