It must be, because we cannot continue living in a bleeding reality, from round to round, from war to war.
It can be, because wars end, conflicts are resolved, and peace can follow.
It will be, we are determined, we will not give up, until there is a reality here worthy of raising children - a reality of peace and security, dignity, equality, and justice.

A humanistic, humorous bilingual performance with audience participation:
An encounter between two market stall vendors on a holiday spirals out of control. They don’t speak the same language and are both eager to succeed in selling in the middle of a bustling city square, until their misunderstandings escalate into a surprising and comedic competition. In the end, they have no choice but to try to understand the “other,” and even compromise a little. Together, they learn to cooperate and create a unique product of their own to sell.
Bilingual performance - Arabic–Hebrew.
Duration: approximately 50 minutes.
Featuring Israeli and Palestinian bereaved families, activists, leaders, international guests, artists, and representatives of peace organizations.
