As it so happens, today is the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, and earlier ASHTAR Theatre in Palestine put out a call to all theatre practitioners to perform and read the monologues here, which came out from the 2008-09 aggression.

"The Gaza Monologues are testimonies written by ASHTAR youth in 2010, after the first war on the Gaza Strip. Tragically, these Monologues are still accurate today. They are highlighting the horrors, hopes and resilience of the courageous Gazans to a wider audience, bringing out the voices of children and people in Gaza."

not sure about here but on ig the tags #GazaMonologues #AshtarTheatre should yield stuff.

The theatre group I hang out with did call for readers/performers, and we did a session on Monday night. The videos are being uploaded here: https://instagram.com/panaspanastheatre?igshid=NzZlODBkYWE4Ng== and https://youtube.com/@panaspanastheatre?si=dZGAif_CAbsyGrtp

Thanks to the theatre group I did my reading with, I was shared this documentary of the production of the Gaza Monologues: https://youtu.be/l1ZJKv-SuuQ

I'll be watching later today. It's only right for me personally, to see the people whose words I read.

There is also a "where are they now" updated list and so many names had "no news heard". One of them, whose monologue I read and was so filled with humour, she died in Ramallah three years ago.
