EPILOGUE | Letter to Gaza

In 2024 Ashtar Theatre started a new project: letters to Gaza. 

When Tarneem sat down to write a letter to her home, this work of poetry emerged in only a couple of hours. We didn't edit a single word. 

It’s been 6 months since she left her home in the north of Gaza. Every day she watches the news and prays for her family, her friends, her people. She waits for the world to wake up. She waits to see her pain reflected and acknowledged. Heartbroken and determined she wonders, “are we not even entitled to nostalgia?”

The letter was written and recorded by Tarneem Jaber, age 19. Music and sound design directed by Ahmad Jaber.
