This teach-in focuses on the role of theatre and the work of theatre makers in Palestine, for whom art has always necessarily been tied to questions of cultural resistance. The event brings together artists and cultural workers based in the Netherlands with a long-time involvement in the Palestinian theatre field. What are their artistic strategies and visions? What are the concrete day-to-day challenges of performing artists living and working under military occupation? How do they counter common misconceptions and prejudices toward Palestinian cultural resistance?
