Twelve Palestinian artists will appear in events comprising part of “Welcome to the Fringe Palestine Day”, which is organised in partnership between:
• British Council
• David Grieg
• “Welcome To the Fringe”
• Forest Fringe
• The Gate Theatre
• Northern Stage
• A.M. Qattan Foundation.
This will be a full day of storytelling, poetry, stand-up comedy, dance and a theatre performance of Al-Harah Theatre’s production, “Shakespeare’s Sisters”, alongside showings of Palestinian short films, discussion events and a photography exhibition.
These events form the culmination of a week in which Palestinian artists will shadow established counterparts at the Edinburgh Fringe. We will also stream a play live from Gaza via satellite to audiences in Edinburgh on 17 August.
