And Here I Am - Drama

The play traces the transformative journey of actor Ahmed Tobasi, from growing up in the Jenin Refugee Camp, his imprisonment, to his pursuit of freedom in Norway. Against the backdrop of the Palestinian intifadas, Tobasi navigates themes of identity, resistance, and the cost of defiance, reflecting the larger Palestinian struggle and the resilience of the human spirit. The play offers a raw and poignant exploration of culture as a form of resistance, blending personal narrative with historical and political context.
