Assassinating Story - An Oral Telling of Stories
November 27, 2016
What of the story of Palestine? This story as all stories is first and foremost about voice or giving voice to an experience so that it can be shared. We live and experience only with and through others and voice is the most common means of communicating. Voice expresses our life, our dilemmas, our challenges, our sorrows and our joys. Voice is the essence of being, becoming and staying human. What if that story is silenced? If that particular voice is not allowed to be heard?
Too often this has been the fate of the story told by Palestinian writers, poets and artists. Killed, assassinated in their prime and before they could make their full contribution. Beit Zatoun offers short stories from two of Palestine's greatest writers and lovers of freedom - Ghassan Kanafani and Majed Abu Sharar. The stories are told by Sarah Abusarar, a professional storyteller and a Palestinian who is bringing a unique Palestinian voice to Toronto and Turtle Island.

Location: 612 Markham St. Toronto, ON
