Set in America, Israel and Palestine,Wrestling Jerusalem followed one man’s journey to understand the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Davidman’s solo performance was a personal story that grappled with the complexities of identity, history, and social justice. Giving voice to over a dozen different characters, the play shed light on one of the most entrenched conflicts of our time.

“REMARKABLE SOLO PERFORMANCE… YEARNING BEAUTY… RIVETING.”

The Personal & The Political: a workshop for theatre students took place on Wednesday, February 18 in the Hillel Social Hall.

Community members joined Aaron Davidman for a workshop that asked participants to explore the questions: what matters to you? Does your personal identity clash with a social, political or religious narrative that you are subjected to? That clash could be the spark for exhilarating drama.
