Motherblood, a short play, is an encounter between two mothers, one who is Israeli,
the other is Palestinian, both of whom have survived significant losses. They
struggle with each other, sharing a wide range of feelings regarding their
complex personal and political situations. This is a meeting that changes these
two womens’ lives. It promises to move you as well.
"This amazing dramatic performance breaks through all
the rhetoric on both sides of the Israel/Palestine struggle and leads us
directly to the humanity and fundamental decency of most people on both sides.
It’s a
perfect opening to a serious conversation about what we can do to build a lasting
peace with justice and security for both sides."
--Rabbi Michael Lerner, editor, Tikkun and author, Healing Israel/Palestine
