Shubbak presents Trouf: Scenes from 75* Years

Trouf: Scenes from 75* Years is an evolutionary play. A living, growing record of life in Palestine, life beyond the headlines, life under occupation.

A man sunbathes in the shadow of a tank; another desperately tries to buy an onion before curfew. A musician returns to his childhood home, and the queues reverberate to the rhythms of Hedi Jouini and Um Khultoum.

Following a successful tour of Tunisia in 2019-21, Trouf: Scenes from 75* Years explores another side to life in Palestine, and Tunisia, the stories you dont see on the news, gathered and discovered by playwright Hannah Khalil from family and the diasporic community alike. Threaded together, these scenes give voice to over 30 characters, in settings from 1948 up to the present day, all asking the question what is it like to live under occupation, where space is always contested?

The play began life as Scenes from 68* Years at the Arcola Theatre in 2016, to critical acclaim and sold out audiences. Khalils text has since evolved through a series of collaborations with Tunisian artists to create a freshly minted text for this UK premiere.

Co-directed by Chris White and Ghazi Ghazi Zaghbani.

A Lartisto and Nabeul Performing Arts Centre co-production.

Original production supported by the British Council, the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture, and the A M Qattan Foundation.

Presented as part of Shubbak Festival 2023.
