Jenin, August 2018
Greetings from Jenin Refugee Camp! After a busy summer camp, we want to share an update on the activities over the last months and tell you more about our future plans.
With great rage and deep pain, ASHTAR Theatre condemns the brutal attack of the Israeli occupation on Al Mishal Theatre in Gaza which flattened the 6 floors building to the ground.
Al Mishal was the base of ASHTAR youth group in Gaza since 2008. It had been the stage to various productions of ASHTAR Theatre; The Gaza Monologues, Romeo and Juliet in Gaza, Hanin, The Flowers Garden, Hercules Children, and many more. The atrocities of the occupation had been escalating and it seems there is no bottom for their deterioration.

A voice that can rise higher than the drone of war, planes that bombarded them day and night, a voice that says: “Enough!!! We deserve a world better than this, a world without fear, siege or occupation.”
