You could say that the reason for the
play “Houses of People” started in 2001... along with the start of this Intifada.
During the many drama workshops we do, kids have the chance to tell or play out
any story they want, any story that needs telling. For three years, most of the
kids came up with stories about how difficult life has become at home. The more
workshops we did, the more stories we heard: funny stories, sad ones, tragic
ones, crazy ones. With this in our heads, we started to write. We came to the
conclusion that no matter how hard people try to live normal lives, most people
in Palestine are unhappy, insecure, uncomfortable, and fed up. We have no cure
for this. What we can do is put the problem on a public stage and to let the
people think, talk, reflect, and arrange ideas. In “Houses of People” we bring
the troubles of the adults and of the kids under one roof.
