Fernando Arrabal's "Picnic on the Battlefield" Theatre in Gaza


Jackie Lubeck,
Designer & Artistic director in
GazaTheatre Day Productions.

"...In 2001 I made a free adaptation of Fernando Arrabal's Guernica (titled 'Guernica or Mom and I in the War') and it was shown to thousands of kids throughout this area... Tonight we are struggling to write the little text that is written on the theatre brochure distributed to all kids who see the show... Theatre Day Productions... work exclusively for youth in a place... The Gazans are among the most creative people on earth when it comes to surviving. They make cars run on corn oil... the kids in Gaza... the age group is 12-16... If we don't get stopped by the Hamas 'leadership' the play should run for 40 performances in January and February. If you want to come we will welcome you warmly. Don't ask anyone IF you should come or HOW you should come. Last thing: When was the play written? We have 1958, 1959, and 1961. We think it's 61 as per your website. The French think it's earlier...":
