Home? Tickets

In Israel, she’s Palestinian. In the Arab world, she’s Israeli. In America, she’s an “Other.” An autobiographical one-person show about a young woman’s journey to retrieve and imagine a new sense of home. On the way she learns: Why would you need to complete military service just to wait tables?

Can you pass as an Israeli if you delete your Arab accent? And can you simply move to America and leave the whole Middle East behind? Through a panoply of vivid characters – from a five-year-old who just wants to join the neighborhood Purim party, to an Egyptian casting director who won’t accept where she comes from, to her dying mother who longs for her daughter to find a place in the world – Hend shares a deeply personal, true story about a search for the place that many of us take for granted: Home.
