A voice from Palestine in Europe: Istanbouli Theater starts its 2013 European Tour



August 3, 2013
A voice from Palestine in Europe:  Istanbouli Theater starts its 2013 European Tour in Spain and Portugal”All human beings have the right to Human Rights, without exception.
Dehumanization, thinking about other people in terms of stereotypes or numbers, might let you think that human beings that are different from us are not subject to the same rights that we have. My theater wants to humanize” the others”, to incarnate them, therefore I have always been interested in showing my work in different countries.”
Kassem Istanbouli, a Lebanese artist with a Palestinian origin, has an extensive theatrical production focused on giving voice to the stories of survivors, almost always in a black comedy mode, bringing a smile to our faces while the tragedy lies underneath. As an actor and theater director Istanbouli has performed the following works, shown in different countries: Picnic in the flede, (Fernando Arrabal) on the absurdity of war; Hawamish on gender violence,
The People’s Court, on the rights of citizenship of Lebanese women; Experiencia del Mural, about identity (Mesopotamian poem XVII century), finalist at Almagro Off, the Black House, on the consequences of the lack of freedom; Walls, on identity and freedom, and Koum Yaba.
No doubt it is his play Koum Yaba, the one that has touched more the audience throughout the world, a monologue with interpretative rooted Arab tradition, in a black comedy mode and with a stage work that plays with the poetic. The dramatic text of Koum Yaba is inspired by the work of Palestinian writer Salman Natour and tells the story of the Palestinian people since 1948 until today. This work has been shown in Lebanon, in the Palestinian refugee camps, in Syria, Gaza, Spain, Algeria, Chile, Kuwait, Tunisia, Morocco.

La voix de Istanbouli Theater revient en Europe


Rendre visible l'invisible, humaniser "les autres"

"Tous les êtres humains, sans exception, sont soumis aux droits de l'humanité.Déshumanisation, penser à d'autres personnes en termes de stéréotypes ou des numéros, pourrait laisser penser que les êtres humains qui sont différents de nous ne sont pas soumis aux mêmes droits que nous avons. Mon théâtre veut humaniser "les autres", les incarner,donc j'ai toujours été intéressé à montrer mon travail dans les différents pays ".

Kassem Istanbouli, un artiste libanais d'origine palestinienne, a une vaste production théâtrale vise à donner une voix aux histoires de survivants, presque toujours dans un mode decomédie noire, apporter un sourire sur nos visages alors que la tragédie se trouve en dessous.En tant qu'acteur et metteur en scène Istanbouli a effectué les travaux suivants, présentés dans différents pays:Picnic in the flede, (Fernando Arrabal) sur l'absurdité de la guerre;Hawamish sur la violence sexiste, la Cour populaire, sur les droits de citoyenneté des femmeslibanaises ; Experiencia del mural, sur l'identité (Mésopotamie, poème XVII siècle), finaliste àAlmagro Off, la Maison Noire, sur les conséquences de l'absence de liberté; Muros, sur l'identité et la liberté, et Koum Yaba.

Sans doute le travail le plus satisfaisant est Koum Yaba, un monologue enracinée dans la tonalité de comédie noire et aussi dans la tradition interprétative arabe et un travail sur scènequi joue avec le poétique. Le texte dramatique est inspiré par l'œuvre de l'écrivain palestinienSalman Natour. Ce travail a été exposé au Liban, dans les camps de réfugiés palestiniens en Syrie, à Gaza, en Espagne, en Algérie, le Chili, le Koweït, la Tunisie, le Maroc, et raconte l'histoire du peuple palestinien depuis 1948 jusqu'à aujourd'hui.

Istanbouli prépare sa prochaine visite à l'Union Européenne pour montrer son travail etlaisser sa voix soit entendue.
