‘Tomorrow Will Be A Palestinian Day’ – Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta
Bet’n Lev Theatre, the White Kite Collective and PalArt Collective are proud to have brought together an incredible line-up of brand new short plays from Palestine.
An evening of new short plays from writers including Hossam Madhoun, Ali Abu Yassin, Nahil Mohana, Dareen Tatour, Jehad Abu Daya, Mohammed Al Qudwa, Motasem Abu Hasan and Imad Wahba, highlighting the stunning variety and artistry of Palestinian playwrights. Also featuring an English language premiere of an extract from a play by legendary Palestinian writer Walid Daqqa.
Performed by an entirely Palestinian cast, the plays take us on a journey from Santa Claus holidaying in Gaza; through the struggle of undeliverable mail addressed to the houses at numbers ‘48, ‘67 and ‘23; via stories of beauty, loss, hope and dreams for the future.
Tomorrow Will Be a Palestinian Day is a clarion call; an unparalleled and unique opportunity to experience an evening of Palestinian theatre and artistry in the UK.

Tuesday 2nd June – “Literature of Resistance”
Please join us for coffee and facilitated conversation with speakers from Palestine, Congo, Lebanon and Sudan on how literature and art can function as cultural resistance.Featuring participants from the Palestinian Youth Movement, Friends of the Congo and the Decolonial Centre. Facilitated by the White Kite Collective. Conversation begins at 6pm.
Wednesday 3rd June – “DIY Collective Crafting”
A collective creation session facilitated by Gamze Sanli. Doors open at 6pm.Embroidery and lace work have long been traditional crafts, and are artforms of resistance, including in the SWANA region (and its diaspora). Palestinian Tatreez is a radical embroidery/cross stitch technique, using motifs and symbols that represent lands which have been colonised and continue to be colonised. Tatreez acts as a living archive of Palestine and Palestinians, with a specific visual language. In this crafting workshop, you’ll embroider onto paper/cards/fabric. Using collage and stitching techniques, you’ll be invited to subvert the narratives of the present and create a piece of art that reflects what you imagine for our futures. No previous experience needed, and a messy, DIY, punk approach is very much encouraged. Throughout the session, you’re welcome to chat, get comfortable, ‘stitch and bitch’, or just listen to music and do your own thing. Embroidery circles have always been spaces to drink (and spill) tea, and make beautiful things. We’ll explore:
And honestly, there’s something therapeutic about repeatedly stabbing something with a tiny sword and making something beautiful.
Thursday 4th June – “Palestinian Food and Music”
Join us before the plays to eat Palestinian food and listen to Palestinian music. Music from Fatima Lahham, Leah Saltoun and Mario Christofi. Food provided for free by Basima’s Kitchen with a suggested donation. Doors open at 6pm.
Fatima Lahham improvises with her recorders and voice. Her practice is influenced by baroque music, dhikr, Fairouz songs and sounds of the sea. Fatima performs and leads music workshops across London and the UK at venues like Café Oto, the Wigmore Hall and the Gaza Bienale, as well as in Austria, France, Germany, Utrecht, and Cairo. Her solo album, ‘bulbul’ (FS Records) tells stories about birds, home, and the spaces in between. Fatima is a researcher at the University of Manchester, working with communal music-making practices and how they relate to imagination, healing, and justice. www.fatimalahham.com / @fictionalfatima on Instagram.
Combining the elegance of the Early Music world with the vitality of Folk music, Μario Christofi and Leah Saltoun explore the shared sonic landscapes of the Mediterranean and Medieval Europe. Their performances bridge the geographic and temporal distance between the traditional folk melodies of Cyprus, the Greek Islands, and the Levant, and the intricate Baroque compositions that echo a shared voice. Weaving together textures of a variety of Lutes and Middle Eastern percussion with the versatile, vocal qualities of recorders and modern influences, they create a ethos that is both historically grounded and contemporary in its delivery. With their music, Leah & Mario offer a sophisticated yet accessible exploration of global heritage and artistic crossover. @leahsaltoun/ @_mariochristofi on Instagram.
