A black background with 2 blurred people in the bottom right corner. The people are only visible from the chest up and they are standing one in front of the other. Their arms are outstretched forming a blurred circle around them. You cannot tell what gender these people are based on their blurry appearance. Along the left-hand side of the image are the show details: “A Train from Sligo to Dublin Showcase.

"Don't die before you are equal" Ghassan Kanafani - Palestinian writer  

We've brought together stories from Queer, Trans, Women & Activist artists through a series of theatre workshops across the Republic of Ireland. Working with participants from these communities, we have brought their stories together. Collaborating in a 2 week long workshop along with established artists, the goal is to empower and strengthen these stories. With this performance and work we hope it empowers others to make the choice to share their stories too.  

"We Teach Life, Sir" Rafeef Ziadah - Palestinian Poet
