Arna and Juliano Mer Khamis are mother and son who started theatre in Palestine to help children live during the two intifada between 2000 and 2002 against the occupation of their territories from the Israel troups.People living in West Europe or North America cannot understand what means to live in an outdoor prison. You have to try living there some months and feeling like an animal in cage. The following videos want to show how children live their childhood in towns like Jenin or Ramallah and to thank Arna and her work with the group Arna's children. We also want to thank her son, Juliano, who went on working for the nowadays children in Palestine reopening the destroyed theatre, now called The freedom theatre where he used to learn and teach the children as well with his dear mother.

The reason why we watch the videos is the attempt to share these children's everyday life, we cannot imagine how painful is. The next video is about Arna's son Juliano and his work today.

Last May The Freedom Theatre performed a play in the Refugee Camp for reflecting about dictatorship,revolution,and freedom. They chose Animal Farm by G.Orwell,who wrote it in the 20th century to tell Europe, between nazism and communism, what happens in a country without democracy.
