Juliano Mer-Khamis, Thea’s cousin and director of the Freedom Theatre in the West Bank city of Jenin,
was shot dead Monday, 4 April.
The 52-year-old was sitting in his car in the Jenin Refugee Camp, when masked gunmen shot him five times.
The Freedom Theatre is the evidence of how Education and Art are unfortunately considered “dangerous” if they aim to help people build up freedom and justice, peacefully and creatively.
Particularly interesting and universal in the video about Freedom Theatre is the Animals’ rebellion against violence and injustice. They are symbolic characters taken from Animal Farmby George Orwell.
Italian students know this novel very well and therefore they are able to appreciate and share its universal value with the Palestinian children.
