- Synopsis
The Gaza which is seldom seen is ordinary, everyday Gaza, a coastal strip which
measures just 25 miles by 6 and which is home to an eclectic mix of almost two
million people.Gaza cannot be understood in a purely political context or by analyzing tragic sound
bites during conflict. It can only be understood by immersion, by living amongst its
people and by recognizing and exploring its rich social diversity and cultural subtleties.GAZA will introduce the audience to the surprising and the unexpected, the unfamiliar
stories that portray its true face. It takes an atypical approach to finding out what makes
this remarkable place tick as it introduces to the world extraordinary stories of everyday
characters leading ordinary lives. And as we journey through the physically broken landscape, our cast of characters speak for themselves. Through them we gain a nuanced understanding of what life is really like and grow a rare familiarity and affinity with this truly unique place.- Stage
