Back to Directors Lab 2022

The Gaza Mono-Logues

Four young adults in Toronto explore how we collectively consume and respond to the trauma of Palestinian people. Prompted by the Gaza Monologues, testimonies written by Palestinian youth from Gaza in 2010 following their survival of extreme violence, our four artists are workshopping a responsive piece of theatre. 

This workshop presentation is part of a double-bill celebrating the explorations in this year’s Directors Lab! Join us in Native Earth Performing Arts’ Aki Studio on May 19 or May 20th to experience both performances.
