Palestine Stories
Many of our staff, of the artists we are working with, and of the audiences attending our programme have close ties to (people in) Palestine and Israel. All these people make up the broad community of Kaaitheater.
Together, we witness how fear, anger and grief are paralysing us and many others in our communities.
On our social media and website, we are amplifying the voice of Palestinian and Israeli artists from the broad community around Kaaitheater and helping to disseminate stories, information, and awareness.
