Sarab
The Palestinian Circus School
SARAB "A mirage" is a 55-minute Tragic Theatre Circus, that was produced in 2017 to highlight the difficulties faced by refugees around the world.
The Palestinian performers use Circus-Theatre to reflect on their history, and the repetition of it today for millions of people.
“We are forced,
We had no other option,
Dragged to uncertain end,
On a road full of obstacles and checkpoints that we
could barely pass,
Our destiny unknown,
During the long and rough journey,
We kept dreaming of the moment we would arrive,
Continuing our path towards the unknown.
Finally,
we arrive.
Have we reached our goal?
After floating earth and oceans,
We discover the unexpected.
It really was nothing, but a mirage.”
About the artist
The Palestinian Circus School was established since 2007 to bring circus to young people in Palestine. The 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.
