STATION HOUSE OPERA<br />

AT HOME IN GAZA AND LONDON<br />

Directed by Taghrid<br />

Choucair-Vizoso and<br />

Julian Maynard Smith,<br />

At Home in Gaza and<br />

London follows the lives<br />

of people living in two<br />

locations separated by<br />

great political, economic<br />

and physical divides.<br />

Using live-streaming and<br />

video, a single space is<br />

created where artists in<br />

Gaza and London appear<br />

on the same stage.<br />

Occupying each other's<br />

spaces and sharing their<br />

everyday concerns, they<br />

dissolve into each other or<br />

become ghostly<br />

protagonists in the drama.<br />

“It takes a few moments<br />

to realise whether we<br />

are looking at England<br />

or Gaza and which of<br />

the characters are<br />

really there.”<br />

– Middle East Monitor<br />

Strong internet<br />

connection required<br />

Can be recreated for<br />
