The Gaza Monologues

Together with a group of young people between 14 and 18 years old, Lisi Estaras is creating a performance based on the Gaza Mono-Logues. These monologues are a personal report of the life experiences of thirty six teenagers living in the Gaza Strip. By making the production, les ballets C de la B is answering to a call from the Ashtar Theatre. This Palestinian theatre is mobilising its global artistic network to produce recitals of the Gaza Mono-Logues throughout the world. Between the two companies there is an artistic collaboration for some years.
