PoliglotTheater
This isn't a play (yet). First, we need your voices.
Here we are asking Americans to become part of the discussion.
In June 2010, PoliglotTheater will be staging a documentary theatre piece in New York about the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, based on interviews we condcuted throughout Israel and the West Bank.
We are a...sking you to write on the event wall below and make heard your views about the conflict, about Gaza, about the Separation Barrier, about terrorism, about peace.
Some prompts if you're short inspiration:
- Why should America support or care about Israel?
- What is America's role in ending the conflict?
- What started all this?
- What will it take to end it?
- Was the Israeli seige on Gaza this winter justified?
- Is terrorism ever justified?
- What role does religion play in the conflict?
- Is Israel justified in building the Separation Barrier?
- What is the biggest obstacle to peace?
In one year we will collect the posts below and present those that are most representative as part of our performance, completely anonymous and unedited.
Posting your comment on the wall below gives PoliglotTheater the rights to use the text only in the theatrical performance described above. PoliglotTheater will not use your name or photo in any way.
