From Nablus to Edinburgh: Palestinian performers turn trauma into art

AI Article: Perplexity Google Lens
At the Edinburgh Festival, Palestinian Circus performers from Nablus, Jenin and Ramallah swap words for physical poetry, using acrobatics, juggling and aerial work to express life under occupation. At home, their circus is a charity offering children across the occupied territories therapy and escape from trauma; on tour, it becomes a quiet act of resistance, insisting on their right to life, culture and memory.
