7pm: Handala: A Celebration of Palestine - Starring Myriam Ali-Ahmad
What happens when we dare to step into the life of the other with an open heart that sings a song of our shared humanity?
2024 Hollywood Fringe Winner of Best Solo Performance Award, Handala is a show written and performed by Myriam Ali-Ahmad. After interviewing Palestinians, Myriam has compiled their stories into a solo show that honors and celebrates Palestinian life, with the direction of Becca Khalil and Mahmoud AboBaker.
Through the arts of drama, poetry and storytelling, this performance takes us on a journey in Palestine, sailing from one Palestinian to another, navigating the ups and downs of the land, through stories of love, life and resistance, and telling the real story of Palestine, in the eyes of its dignified people.
This is a celebration of Palestine. This is a celebration of Palestinian life and culture. This is a call for action to preserve such beauty.
