Creating bridges, breaking barriers

In an interesting interview with Deep Dish TV, the founder and artistic director of Ashtar Theatre, Iman Aoun speaks about their work with youth in Palestine and about her views on the Israel - Palestine conflict, which she believes is not based on ideology or religion but is about colonialism, power, money and economy.

She gives a fascinating insight into what led to the idea behind the Gaza Mono-Logues, where she speaks about the importance of making young people understand that they are not the center of the world. She believes that by exposing them to the difficulties and experiences of other people in the world, their own problems get smaller.
