The Land is an original, three act play, concerning the past, current and about to be future ( unless something changes quickly ) Israeli/Palestinian conflict. It looks at the catastrophic mistakes of History that have led to the present cycle of violence, through the eyes of two women (Amirah and Tamara) and their families. The first act begins during the Second Intifada and the final act occurs in Gaza during Operation Cast Lead. As this very human drama unfolds, the audience is taken on an often shocking, emotional and provocative journey that climaxes with a surreal but hopeful ending. The setting of The Land is Jerusalem, but the story is about all of us, struggling to co-exist on this fragile planet.

Shuhada Street


Hebron's Shuhada Street is the scene of ongoing demonstrations by Israeli and Palestinian activists protesting the destruction of a once vital market place, and demanding it be reopened! One of the scenes in The Land is based on Micha Kurz' experience there as an IDF soldier during the Second Intifada. Breaking The Silence was born out of that. Above, Micha on the ground earlier this week. Help us help him and Grassroots Jerusalem! Please log onto Kickstarter and pledge!http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/402359860/the-land
