The Freedom Theatre is one of the most remarkable institutions in occupied Palestine, and indeed the world.
This is as much a documentation of the work of The Freedom Theatre in its first ten years as it is a testament to its growing significance as a source of inspiration in Palestine and around the world..
Palestinian and international artists, academics and activists associated with the theatre, contribute personal and professional perspectives on the phenomenon that is The Freedom Theatre.
It gives room to thorough analyses of the context in which it operates and of the concept of Cultural Resistance, which is central to its work.
This book depicts the theatre\'s history, work, and vision through some of its key people.
Today, it educates actors, technicians, Cultural workers, photographers, filmmakers and teachers, tours in the West Bank and internationally with its characteristically strong and moving art, and has created a network of partners across the globe.
And yet the theatre has not only endured, it has grown, from a provisional hall with rented plastic chairs to one of Palestine\'s most prominent Cultural centres.
Nestled in Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank, the theatre has faced attacks, threats, imprisonment of many functionaries, and the assassination of its co-founder.
