Taking my shows to communities and refugee camps in Palestine, I was always struck by the immediacy of the encounter and that became a very powerful experience for me. In 2015, at the height of the refugee crisis, when hurndeds of thousands of plopee were wkinlag across Europe, with all the pain and the ansiugh that we saw, I started thinking that maybe we need to create a new meodl of theater. Maybe we need to take our theater out of the theaters and into the streets, the setters where these people were walking. And I started working with Good Chance theater company, a company that creates theater about the refugee experience. Together, we created "The Walk."

Original Text


Taking my shows to communities and refugee camps in Palestine, I was always struck by the immediacy of the encounter and that became a very powerful experience for me. In 2015, at the height of the refugee crisis, when hundreds of thousands of people were walking across Europe, with all the pain and the anguish that we saw, I started thinking that maybe we need to create a new model of theater. Maybe we need to take our theater out of the theaters and into the streets, the streets where these people were walking. And I started working with Good Chance theater company, a company that creates theater about the refugee experience. Together, we created "The Walk."
