Theater empowers Palestinians
csmonitor.com: "It's early morning in the troubled Jenin refugee camp, an isolated, impoverished stronghold for Palestinian resistance movements in the West Bank. Deep within the camp, a lively meeting is in progress in a freshly painted backroom. Its participants, however, are armed neither with Kalashnikovs nor hand grenades, but solely with the power of theater."

this is an amazing story! it actually has to do a lot with the text we are reading in Interp. by Augustus Boal called "Theatre of the Oppressed". it just goes to show how art truely is a tool, or as Boal says, "a rehearsal for a revolution". art has power and it is up to the artists to make the change.
