The Freedom Bus ensemble holds a performance in solidarity with the Faqu’a village near the West Bank city of Jenin on September 23, 2012.. After the people of Faqu’a shared personal stories about their daily life under Israeli occupation, the ensemble turned each story into a piece of improvised theater. The Freedom Bus, an initiative of Jenin’s Freedom Theater, uses interactive theater and cultural activism to bear witness, raise awareness, and build alliances throughout Palestine and beyond. Faqu’a is a village of 4,000 inhabitants, and is one of many communities impacted by Israel’s apartheid water system that restricts access in the West Bank and Gaza. Located on the edge of the massive separation wall that Israel continues to build in the West Bank, Faqu’a is denied access to the water network. (photo: Ahmad Al-Bazz/ Activestills.org)
