It is to take place on Saturday, March 10th at the Salle Marie-Gerin-Lajoie theater hall in UQAM. The starting time is 7 pm sharp. The preparations for this event have been underway since September, with a lot of gossip and media attention surrounding the event. We hope that this play will entertain as well as inspire you.Tickets are avilable.
SPHR would like to thank their active members , and their dabkeh troupe "Tal Alzaatar" for their crucial support and contribution to this event. We would also like to take this opportunity to inform you that through this event we are raising money for the children of Palestine. We feel that the contribution of our community is crucial in helping to alleviate the dire circumstances in Palestine and shows our support for the Palestinian people. Please see attached poster.
Synopsis:Fadi was born and raised in Canada to Palestinian parents and has always been an activist and considers himself Palestinian at heart and soul. Not knowing he is about to face a life changing experience, Fadi embarks on a trip to the infamous “Ein il Hilweh” Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon.
In the camp Fadi meets Rabee, a simple Palestinian refugee who has a very optimistic and lively existence. Rabee introduces our main character to the life in the camp as exemplified by a Dabkeh group of his dearest friends. However with Fadi's growing struggle to get in peace with his origins Rabee convinces him to visit Palestine, the “mother nation” as the witty Rabee likes to call it.
This is the backdrop of events leading up to the play “Citizenship… Palestine?” Dabkeh, comedy, and Drama intertwine in Fadi's journey of self realization and lead to the ever important question: what does it mean to be Palestinian?
