Seven Days From A Gaza Diary, A Reading
January 30, 2010
Inaugural Event at New Toronto Art and Culture Venue - Beit Zatoun
A dramatic reading of a searing, personal account of bombing of Gaza
This performance piece for three voices is adapted from a diary kept during the Israeli assault on Gaza in December 2008 into January 2009. The diarist is Khulood Ghanem, a 27 year-old woman living in Khan Younis in central Gaza. Written in Arabic, the first seven days were translated into rough but clear English by the diarist.
This adaptation employs half the diary text for those seven days. Interspersed are excerpts selected by Mr. Mast from published reports issued during the last year by respected information sources or human rights organizations.
By donation - suggested $20; unwaged $5
Proceeds shared with a fund for Khulood Ghanem
Time: 6:00 pm
Venue: Beit Zatoun
