Rubble

by Suvendrini Lena | A Theatre Passe Muraille and Aluna Theatre co-production world premiere   Playing February 25 to March 19, 2023 Gaza. A mother and her family receive a courtesy call: “You have 58 seconds to leave your home before an explosion. Run.” From this point on, we travel backwards through time, through a siege spanning 2000 years. In a theatre, broken but not abandoned, hear the voice of late Palestinian National Poet Mahmoud Darwish, and  examine the urgent question: what is the meaning of poetry in the midst of war? What is our responsibility as we read, write, hear, and witness the survival of the human spirit in poetry?
