Set at the site of a massacred Palestinian village--Deir Yassin--which is now occupied by an Israeli mental health institution, this play explores the collective memory of the Palestinian people. Through a multiplicity of voices and vividly surreal scenes, the four characters deliver a profoundly relevant narrative about atrocity, displacement, human relationships, and hope.

Playwright Hanna Eady says, “Through remembrance, storytelling, and resilience, the play demonstrates the essence of Palestinian sumud, or steadfastness. This is not a passive quality, but an active one that perseveres through attempts to silence historical truths.”
