Synopsis
Keffiyeh/Made In China written by Dalia Taha is a collection of 10 short plays bound together in an unfolding story, enacted by five actors playing multiple characters, exploring how even the most intimate relationships and everyday occurrences subvert ordinary life under colonization and occupation.
A mother and father buying their son his favourite fruit; siblings arguing with one another about who is the better writer; a business owner trying to sell the latest trend; parents decorating a child’s room; a couple reaching for intimacy on a night without the kids… these are some of the beautifully mundane moments offered against the backdrop of grief, rage, and hope.
