In 2008-2009, the Israeli military operation “Cast Lead” ravaged Gaza for three weeks, killing more than 1,400 Palestinians, including civilians, many of them children. Two years on, the Ashtar Theatre has gathered the voices of 33 teenagers who survived the war. They tell of their experiences in Gaza under the bombs, their stolen childhoods and the trauma and anger that have stayed with them ever since. It is also with the ambition of alerting the international community to what they are suffering in the midst of general indifference that these young people have spoken out. Their words carry the hope of rebuilding a nation and the ambition of future peace. Sens Interdits offers a reading of these texts in duplex between young French actors and young Gazan authors who have become adults, to go beyond the borders of the blockade and make these experiences visible. Since 2010, the Monologues de Gaza have travelled the world, performed by thousands of young actors in some twenty languages and reaching an international audience. Yet Gaza remains an “open-air
“and the civilian population still lives in terror. 13 years on, the Gaza Monologues are as relevant as ever.
