Zaatar Rain

Za’atar Rain is a tragicomedy one woman show. It is a play challenging its audience to reflect upon and question the notion of borders, and the craving of crossing them and reaching the unreachable. Nowadays, as societies shift towards the state of being far apart from one another ideologically and diving deep into nationalism and the reinforcement of borders, there is a place for theatre to try and challenge border-mentality. Za’atar Rain does not tell a story solely relating to the Middle East. This could happen anywhere; the U.S and Mexico, North and South Korea to name two prominent examples. It poses a simple yet pertinent question: Why can’t two people from neighbouring countries meet?
