Play :: Following heart surgery, a barely conscious poet is haunted by memories and is forced to face up to his life, his art and his mortality. He muses on the poems he did not write, on his first love, his dreams, and all the experiences that make up his personality and his culture. A poignant, poetic and uplifting production, beautifully acted. Jidariyya is adapted from a poem by Mahmoud Darwish, one of the most important contemporary Arab voices. Darwish was born in a town in Galilee which was razed when he was a child. Jidariyya is a cry against his own personal obliteration as well as that of his culture.
