[Denne morgenbriefing er på engelsk]
På denne morgenbriefing får vi besøg af det palæstinensiske teaterkompagni Al-Harah Theater, som er på turné i Danmark og Sverige i marts med forestillingen “Meramieh”. Her giver kompagniet og dets leder Marina Barham et unikt indblik i Palæstina og teatrets nødvendighed - og en dybere forståelse af hvilken rolle teatret spiller i at hjælpe børn, unge og det palæstinensiske samfund med at overkomme traumer. Kom og få et førstehånds indblik i Marinas og hendes kollega Nicolas oplevelser og erfaringer.
Om forestillingen “MERAMIEH”
Forestillingen “Meramieh” tager udgangspunkt i seks vidnesbyrd fra bogen “Living Memories”, udgivet i 2017 i samarbejde med Det Danske Hus i Palæstina. I bogen fortæller en række mennesker deres historier fra det, der i Mellemøsten kaldes Nakba, eller den Palæstinensiske Katastrofe i 1948, hvor over en halv million palæstinensere blev fordrevet fra deres hjemland. I forestillingen ser en ældre mand og en ældre kvinde tilbage på deres liv. Liv, der blev forandret for evigt i 1948. De drømmer og længes tilbage til det land, de som børn blev forvist fra, mens de venter. “Meramieh” betyder salvie, som er en helende urt - men er der sår så dybe, at de aldrig heler?

-------------------
In this morning briefing, we are joined by the Palestinian theater company Al-Harah Theater, which is touring Denmark and Sweden in March with the performance "Meramieh". Here, the company and its director Marina Barham will give a unique insight into Palestine and the necessity of theater - and a deeper understanding of the role theater plays in helping children, youth and the Palestinian community overcome trauma. Come and get a first-hand insight into the experiences of Marina and her colleague Nicola.
About the performance "MERAMIEH"
The performance "Meramieh" is based on six testimonies from the book "Living Memories", published in 2017 in collaboration with the Danish House in Palestine. In the book, a number of people tell their stories from what is known in the Middle East as the Nakba, or the Palestinian Catastrophe of 1948, when over half a million Palestinians were driven from their homeland. In the show, an elderly man and an elderly woman look back on their lives. Lives that were changed forever in 1948. They dream and long to return to the land they were expelled from as children while they wait. "Meramieh" means sage, which is a healing herb - but are there wounds so deep that they never heal?
