Fwd: 'Return to Palestine' by The Freedom Theatre performed in France, Sweden and Luxembourg!

News and updates from The Freedom Theatre, a theatre and cultural centre in Jenin refugee camp, occupied Palestine.

'Return to Palestine' tours once more!

In a comic and tragic way, Return to Palestine tells the story of American born Palestinian Jad who returns to his homeland. Here, he discovers Palestine is different from what is told on the news. The physical performance takes place at just a small part of the stage, which symbolises the restricted space of the Palestinian people. The play is based on true stories of life in Palestine, gathered through playback theatre during The Freedom Theatre’s Freedom Bus ride. It was originally produced in 2016, directed by Micaela Miranda. Return to Palestine will embark on a string of performances in Sweden, France and Luxembourg which starts next week along with post show discussions and Q&A's with the cast and crew. The team will touch down in Stockholm this coming Sunday before the first performance on Tuesday 30th October in Malmo. Below you can find a full schedule of the upcoming tour - to book tickets, please contact the venues directly or send an email to info@thefreedomtheatre.org: SWEDEN 30-31 October – Performances at Panora/Folkets Bio in Malmo 2 November – Performance at Oktoberteatern, Södertälje near Stockholm 3-4 November – Performances at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern near Stockholm 6-7 November – Performances at Angereds Teater in Gothenberg FRANCE 10 November – Performance at La Fonderie in Le Mans 11 November – Performance at Le Tiroir in Laval 12 November – Performance at Salle Jean Carmet in Allonnes 13 November – Performance at Centre Culturel in Saint-Pierre-des-Corps 15 November – Performance at Maison des jeunes in Villebon 16 November – Performance at Cultural Center Algerien in Paris 17 November – Performance at Le Hangar in Châlette sur Loing 18 November – Performance at Espace Capellia in La Chapelle sur Erdre LUXEMBOURG 19 November – Performance at Lycée des Garçons, Luxembourg   For media enquiries and interviews, please contact: Sweden: Ann Mari Engel annmari.engel@gmail.com, +46 70 72 77 420 France: Sonia Fayman theatrejenine@yahoo.fr, + 33 6 62 84 19 48, + 33 6 82 96 95 28 Luxembourg: Nathalie Oberweiss nathalie.oberweis@paixjuste.lu, +352 691 819 306   This tour has been arranged and supported by our Friends Associations in Europe and we would like to thank them for their continued dedication and support.
