AND HERE I AM

By Hassan Abdulrazzak

Based on the life and performed

by Ahmed Tobasi

Based on the life and performed by Ahmed Tobasi, this gripping coming-of-age story spans the First and Second Intifada. Following his epic journey from

the battle-scarred alleys of Jenin Camp, to the confines of Israeli prison, from armed resistance against invasion to cultural resistance against eradication.

Combining fact and fantasy, tragedy and comedy, award-winning writer Hassan Abdulrazzak captures an extraordinary odyssey of defiance and the

unbreakable pursuit of freedom.

 

As the Israeli army once again invades Jenin Refugee Camp, And Here I Am is both a powerful Palestinian tale of the past and an urgent story of the present.

GLOBAL TOUR

 

And Here I Am has toured across Palestine, the UK, France, Norway, Catalonia,

and Belgium. As well as at D-CAF Festival in Cairo, Festival Teatro a Mil in Chile,

Al Miftah Festival in Italy, HIFA in Zimbabwe, Moment Festival in Slovenia, Arts

Festival in UAE, World Culture Festival in Karachi, and the Sharm El Sheikh

monodrama festival, winning the award for best production.
