The Freedom Theater said in a press release that the Freedom Bus project has just completed its first Freedom Ride, bringing together Palestinians and internationals on a tour to communities all over the West Bank of occupied Palestine.
During the ride, The Freedom Bus visited some of the most besieged areas in the West Bank. Palestinian actors and musicians enacted personal accounts of community members, touching on issues such as home demolitions, land confiscation, army invasions, arbitrary arrests, settler violence, water shortage, the effects of the Wall and much more. Interactive theatre and music performances were complemented by university seminars, community tours, hip hop concerts, giant puppet shows and marches.
The Freedom Bus made its first stop in Faquaa, where although the village's name means spring water bubbles, the villagers are struggling to get access to clean water due to Israel's separation barrier and land confiscation. The performance was watched, from a distance, by Israeli soldiers looking through binoculars and photographing and filming the crowd over the barbed wire. more
