"Lost Letters from Gaza" in association with Gallery Habibi

This experimental performance is an improvised blend of music and choreography, incorporating testimonies from children and residents of Gaza about their dreams. In times of war, even the smallest dreams, desires and memories of everyday life — such as the simple wish of eating a banana again — become monumental and invaluable.
