“An acrobatic, abstract and largely wordless two-hander tracing Middle Eastern relations from the afterlife back to the bomb that led there.” The Guardian ****
We have seen our fathers shouting and waving their arms in the air.
We have watched from a distance and hidden from the news.
Having grown up on opposite sides of the Arab-Isreali divide, Gecko's Allel Nedjari and Amit Lahav celebrate their brotherhood and laugh and cry at their reflections.
Following the multiple-award winning Taylor's Dummiesand The Race, The Arab and the Jew is both a riot of sound, image and movement and an ambitious dance of reason and conciliation - performed with Gecko's characteristic exuberance and physical skill.
Performed and directed by: Amit Lahav and Allel Nedjari
