The Invaders’ Fear of Memories
The Invaders’ Fear of Memories

The script for this production includes excerpts from the diaries of Yousef Nachmani. It also draws from testimonies contained in Illan Pappe’s The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, along with interviews from The Diaries of Yossef Nachmani, a documentary by the Israeli journalist and filmmaker, Dalia Karpel. The title for this play, The Invaders’ Fear of Memories, is a line taken from ‘On this Land’, a poem by the Palestinian poet, Mahmoud Darwish.
