Notes: | Created by Lauren Goldman Marshall and Hannah Eady; music by David Nafissian and others. Abraham's Land was developed as a Jewish/Arab collaboration between Marshall, Eady and Nafissian, working with an Arab and Jewish development ensemble. It was further refined in a production by Israeli and Palestinian teenagers at Seeds of Peace camp in Portland, ME, (1999). | |||||
Synopsis: | Abraham's Land is a full length musical drama set against the backdrop of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Yitzhak (an Israeli soldier) and Ismail (a Palestinian philosophy student) are launched onto adjacent journeys through the culture of the other. After Yitzhak mistakenly shoots Ismail during a street demonstration in East Jerusalem, he struggles with guilt and remorse and resolves to make atonement by returning Ismail's identity card to his family, living in Gaza. Meanwhile, Ismail regains consciousness, but suffers from amnesia. With his mind now a blank slate, he sets forth on a journey of self education through Israeli society. Thus trading places, each character comes to experience the good of the other society and the darker side of his own. When the two ultimately meet again, they must confront painful truths about themselves and each other. Shadow puppets, masks and music evoking the passions of the region bring myth and mysticism into this contemporary fable. | |||||
