Sami Abu-Wardeh: Palestine - Peace de Resistance

About the show

Following a sold-out London run and a critically acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe, Sami Abu-Wardeh is touring his “defiantly goofy” (The Guardian ★★★★) call for mass civil disobedience.

As a Palestinian born in exile, only to be displaced from his country of birth by yet another war, Sami digs deep into his ties to resistance and Palestinian identity – and still finds space for the silliest of faces. He posits- can resistance be funny?

“This is a work that demands attention not only for its politics, but for its artistic excellence. It is angry and generous, radical and refined” ★★★★★ Sound Behind Curtain

“Its title, Peace de Resistance, implies a rallying call, but he delivers something different: a compelling collage of historical storytelling, jokes about colonialism, and a silent-comedy style that remains defiantly goofy in the face of abomination” ★★★★ Guardian

“Passionate, epic, and very funny” ★★★★ Fest
