The Horse of Jenin, written and pe rformed by Palestinian actor and comedian Alaa Shehada, tells a universal story. It is about a boy growing up in Jenin, but like every child in the world, he most wants to play and have fun. It is a story about the resilie nce that imagination brings.

In April 2002, a major invasion took pl ace in Jenin. In the aftermath, a German artist came over for an art works hop. After four weeks, with the help of 15 Palestinians, he unveiled the r esult. He had built a horse as tall as 5 metres out of metal fragments, de bris from the bombing. They rode the horse through the city and everyone w as proud of it, people felt lifted by it.

The horse is an Arabic sym bol of freedom, but this horse was also a symbol of peaceful resistance. I t was a symbol of resilience. Last November, an Israeli bulldozer entered the camp and the horse was removed.

In this solo, Alaa wonders: what happened to the horse? Was it arrested? Did it go to court? Was he able t o defend himself? Did they put him in jail? Was the horse interrogated? An d did it then tell about the day Alaa tried to ride the horse with his bes t friend Ahmed?

With this solo, Alaa builds a new horse, constructed from the fragments of his memories supplemented with a huge dose of humou r and imagination. A theatrical symbol of resistance and imagination. The performance is an ode to the power of imagination and the value of playing freely.

Presented in association with Cairde Sligo Arts Fes tival, Dublin Theatre Festival and Earagail Arts Festival.
