URGENT: SUPPORT OUR PROJECT AND DONATE!

For our new project No Hope With Hope we urgently need your financial support. In two weeks we bring 30 people from countries of conflict to the European Parliament in Brussels, to tell the stories of their daily lives to the ones who govern Europe. For this project we did six months of preparation and rehearsals in the Middle East conflict areas. (more info on the project is below)

We are very short on funds, and we ask for your help.

PROJECT: NO HOPE WITH HOPE

The hopelessness of a never-ending situation of war, occupation and oppression
The hope for a better future

They will come from far, sharing their life
A voice for the ones without voice
The ones constantly following the news
Who got killed? Who got arrested? Where did the bombs fall?
The ones who lost friends, family in demonstrations, wars
The ones who also fall in love, marry, dance, get ill, love their children, eat their favorite dish
The ones who don't know what can happen in an hour, a day, in a week

Teatro di Nascosto is coming back to the European Parliament in Brussels for the fourth time! On the 24th and 25th of January 2023, we will perform in the parliament with the support of 16 European Parliamentarians. We organize two information days about the daily life in countries of conflict in the Middle-East and Ukraine through Theater Reportage, short films and conferences, with 30 young artists, journalists, students, coming directly from their territories where they live war, occupation, oppression and violence.

Diaries from the Middle East Conflict Areas

By: Annet Henneman

Language: Italian

Diaries and reflections on twenty-three years of living in conflict areas: Iraq, Turkish and Iraqi Kurdistan, Egypt, Palestine, Iran and Jordan. It all started with a desire to tell about the daily lives of those living isolated in situations of war, occupation, oppression, through performances that put journalistic information on stage, the so-called: ’Theatre Reportage’. But this work did not only create a collection of life stories of the people met over the years, but also new family relationships, kept alive by continuously returning, with the joy of being able to embrace each other again.
