 “I dream of having ONE day of safety… When can we live in peace like the rest of the World?”

– Mahmud Abu Sha’ban (born 1996) 2014

In response to Ashtar’s Theatre’s call out for a Global Reading, Stellar Quines and Disaster Plan presented a rehearsed reading of The Gaza Monologues at the Lyceum Theatre. 

The Gaza Monologues are testimonies written by Ashtar Youth in 2010 following their survival of violence on the Gaza Strip. In this solidarity event we brought together Scottish, Palestinian, Jewish and Arabic voices to give life to these stories and call for justice, equality and freedom. 

The event took place at The Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh on 30 Nov 2023

MOVE toured 12 of Scotland’s most spectacular beaches in 2022

Inspired by ancient keening rituals and performed on the beach, Move is about migration, loss and communal healing. Weaving storytelling, movement, choral soundscape and Gaelic song, five women portray the ebb and flow of people across the globe throughout the ages.
