From Thursday, April 10 to Saturday, April 26, 2025 – Teesri Duniya Theatre presents Keffiyeh/Made in China, written by Dalia Taha and playing at Teesri’s Rangshala Studio at Cité-des-Hospitalières. It’s a collection of 10 Palestinian short plays bound together in an unfolding story, exploring how even the most intimate relationships and everyday occurrences subvert ordinary life under colonization and occupation.
Beautifully mundane moments presented against a backdrop of grief, rage & hope
A mother and father buying their son his favourite fruit; siblings arguing with one another about who is the better writer; a business owner trying to sell the latest trend; parents decorating a child’s room; a couple reaching for intimacy on a night without the kids. Stories of everyday life moments, woven together into one.
Directed by Chelsea Dab Hilke, the cast features Aladeen Tawfeek, Basma Baydoun, Joy Ross-Jones, Hiba Sleiman and Rahul Gandhi.
“Teesri Duniya Theatre considers theatre a transformative tool that can challenge oppressive forces to enact positive change. Our goal is to transform awareness into engagement by addressing conditions that imprison people in systems of poverty, injustice and oppression.” – Teesri Duniya Theatre
