Palestinian performers bring critically-acclaimed show to Kilkenny

Palestinian performers bring critically-acclaimed show to Kilkenny

Sarab will be performed at the Watergate Theatre this Friday.

A talented group of Palestinian performers will bring their critically acclaimed show to the Watergate Theatre in Kilkenny this Friday.

Sarab, the Arabic word for mirage, is a 55-minute work originally created in 2017 which uses contemporary circus theatre to highlight the difficulties faced by refugees around the world.

The show has since toured the world to critical acclaim, and the Palestinian performers, here in Ireland for the first time, use circus-theatre to reflect on their collective history, and the repetition of it for millions around the world.

The Palestinian Circus was established in 2006 to bring circus to young people in Palestine. Circus builds powerful creative identities through value-based education. It offers young people the voice to speak up about their daily life, their struggle for freedom and their immense desire to live a dignified life in their homeland. Their tour in Ireland is produced by Doulab for Circus and Dance.

The show is suitable for age 14+

Tickets €20/€14/€60 for a group of four.

Visit watergatetheatre.com for tickets or call the box office on 056 7761674.
