Following the success of last year’s Ramadan events, we organised and hosted some performances, musical shows and film screenings for children, youth and adults in Jenin.\u00a0As the end of the holy month of Ramadan now approaches, we look back at these cultural events.\u00a0To get\u00a0an impression of last weeks’ activities at The Freedom Theatre, read the short summary below!<\/em>
\nMusic for all!<\/strong>
\nWe started the events on the 24th of May, in collaboration with the Watar Conservatory of Music from Jenin. Students of the conservatory performed for their family and friends in Jenin. Either with an ensemble, orchestra, choir or as a solist, they performed a mix of classical and modern music. The family event saw a full house and was preceded by an iftaar meal, organised by the conservatory.
\nA whole different kind of musical event took place on the 7th of June; renowned rappers from Palestine and Jordan came to our theatre to perform and the\u00a0audience went wild! Psychedelic, Shi3rap and Synaptik rapped the stage away and they were accompanied by Adi Khalefa, the comedian who kept\u00a0everyone laughing.
\nLast Saturday, 9th of June, yet another type of musical event was\u00a0enjoyed at The Freedom Theatre. The students\u00a0of Al-Kamandjati, led by Iyad Stiti and in cooperation with famous Palestinian singer Oday Al-Khatib, treated the audience to a\u00a0beautiful mix of Oriental and Arabic songs.
\n
\nPerformance of\u00a0And Here I Am<\/em><\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/em>Of course, being\u00a0a theatre, a performance cannot be missed as part of our cultural events during Ramadan. Ahmed Tobasi once again used his never-ending energy to perform\u00a0his one man show to a full house in Jenin camp. Only just returning\u00a0from his international tour, which took him to\u00a0Norway and Zimbabwe, and about to complete\u00a0his West Bank Tour, we were happy to have the great show once more.\u00a0The show was produced by Developing Artists, written by Iraqi Hassan Abdulrazzak and directed by British Zoe Lafferty.

\nFilm screenings for children<\/strong>
\nThree Tuesdays in a row we screened a film for the children of Jenin and Jenin refugee camp. To allow everyone to come, the entrance for the screening was free. Every Tuesday at 5 pm, a little over twenty children came\u00a0to our theatre, enthusiastic to see a new film. The Cinema Club during Ramadan featured the animated movie Bilal: A New Breed of Hero<\/em>, based on the age-old biography\u00a0of Bilal\u00a0ibn Rabah, who\u00a0fought his way out of slavery and made his dreams come true. The following\u00a0Tuesday featured the Japanese anime classic\u00a0Grave of the Fireflies <\/em>and the last movie was\u00a0Stretch Armstrong: The Breakout<\/em>.\u00a0We regard the regular screening of movies\u00a0as an important cultural activity for children and youth in Jenin, knowing that the cinema of Jenin closed last year and to ensure\u00a0everyone has access to film screenings on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, The Freedom Theatre Family wishes you all a happy and joyful Eid al-Fitr – Eid Mubarak!\u00a0<\/strong>We are looking\u00a0forward to seeing you at one of our activities after Eid. Please note the theatre will be closed for Eid\u00a0celebrations from\u00a0Thursday 14th – Monday 18th June.<\/strong><\/p>\n
