How can we both address and inject humour into one of the most lethal conflicts in modern history, which has captured worldwide media attention? That’s the looming question comedian Noam Shuster Eliassi faces when it comes to approaching the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in her one-woman show. Initially setting out to bring harsh truths to a wildly divisive political talking point, Eliassi courageously stands on stage to shed light on a dark time in world history. Using her roots growing up in a blended commune of Palestinians and Israelis living together as a touchstone, she brings forth a unique and powerful voice in front of engaging crowds. As the COVID pandemic hits and the events of October 7 take place, Eliassi goes on a deep journey of self-reflection, taking in the impact of these events as humour turns to heartbreak.
