The Palestinian Circus: Sarab

Sarab, which is the Arabic word for mirage, is a 55-minute work originally created in 2017 which uses contemporary circus theatre to highlight the difficulties faced by refugees around the world. The show has since toured the world to critical acclaim, and the Palestinian performers, here in Ireland for the first time, use circus-theatre to reflect on their collective history, and the repetition of it for millions around the world.

About the Palestinian Circus:

The Palestinian Circus was established in 2006 to bring circus to young people in Palestine. Circus builds powerful creative identities through value-based education. It offers young people the voice to speak up about their daily life, their struggle for freedom and their immense desire to live a dignified life in their homeland.
