The Revolution’s Promise

A Collaboration between:
The Freedom Theatre (Jenin) & Artists on the Frontline

Written by: Zoe Lafferty

“The Revolution’s Promise” is a dramatic presentation written in November, 2022. It tells the story of the Jenin Freedom Theatre, located in Jenin Refugee Camp, West Bank, Occupied Palestinian Territories, Israel-Palestine. It also tells the personal stories of five Palestinian artists and three directors of cultural centres in the West Bank & Gaza.

**the presentation will be follow by a "talk back" community conversation with the presenters and information**

Each person who speaks was interviewed separately, without knowing who else was being interviewed for this project. Interviewees’ perspectives, thoughts & ideas are solely their own. Other text is from material available online.

This project is a fundraiser for The Freedom Theatre, who right now are working primarily with traumatized children in Jenin Refugee Camp, (population 15,000) using theatre and art to help them grapple with their current reality.

We are thrilled to note that The Freedom Theatre has been nominated for the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize.

Thank you for coming to our presentation.

All proceeds to benefit The Freedom Theatre (Jenin).
