The Freedom Bus [23.03.2012]

'We know too well, that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians'
Nelson Mandela

From September 23rd - October 1st 2012, people from around the world will take part in a 9-day solidarity ride through the West Bank of Occupied Palestine. During the ride, an ensemble of Palestinian actors and musicians will use Playback Theatre to perform the personal stories of community members throughout the region. Enactments will be based on autobiographical accounts about political imprisonment, home demolitions, land appropriation, discriminatory laws, settler violence, the Separation Wall and other realities of life under Israeli occupation. Freedom Bus participants will also hear lived stories that underscore the rich Palestinian history of creative protest, boycotts, general strikes, and other forms of non-violent popular struggle and civil resistance.
