Persians. Triumph of Empathy

A conflict that has been going on for years is even possible to resolve

In this performance, he and six performers investigate how they can show more understanding and empathy in a conflict that has been going on for decades: the conflict between Israel and Palestine.

They do this by looking at one of the oldest plays in history, The Persians by the Greek writer Aeschylus.

Will they succeed in looking differently at a decades-long highly polarised issue through the lens of a Greek tragedy?

Please note: The performance contains authentic footage from Israel and Palestine. There are sounds, images and scenes that may be emotionally intense and possibly shocking.
