"In Between"

A semi-autobiographical one man show by Ibrahim Miari that portrays the complexities and contradictions inherent in Palestinian-Israeli identity. On the precipice between two cultures stands Ibrahim Miari, son of a Palestinian Muslim father and Jewish Israeli mother. He recalls his childhood in Acco, memories of his Jewish and Palestinian grandmothers, of war.
