The Gaza Mono-Logues is an exciting global project initiated by Iman Aoun,
Artistic Director of Ashtar Theatre, Palestine’s first theatre training
organization for youth. The impulse for the project emerged from the attack
on the Gaza Strip, December 2008 to January 2009, which led to the death of
431 children and wounded another 1,872. In 2009 Ashtar Theatre, with the
help of UNICEF, began conducting drama therapy and creative writing
workshops with youth directly affected by the attacks. By focusing on these
youths’ individual experiences, their dreams, fears, and hopes, Ashtar
Theatre compiled a body of work that led to the birth of The Gaza
Mono-Logues.

The monologues will be performed by local youth between the ages of 14 and
16!

Ashtar Theatre has organized recitals of the The Gaza Mono-Logues in 30
cities worldwide, in multiple languages, all on the same day: October 17,
2010. Vancouver is the only Canadian city hosting the global project.
