Voices of Resilience at The Barbican

Описание: In September 2024, The Barbican Centre, London, staged an extraordinary one-off performance of testimonies reflecting upon the resilience of Palestinians in Gaza accompanied by traditional Arabic music and a visual score. Four diaries from Gaza were performed: those of Nahil Mohana, Ala'a Obaid, Atef Abu Saif, and Sondos Sabra
in tandem with a visual and musical score. All commissioned and presented by Comma Press. The event was sold out, but now, for the first time, it is being shared with the general public.

Featuring:
Maxine Peake
Yusra Warsama
Nabil Elouahabi
and Hind Shoufani
