As the Israeli army again invades Jenin refugee camp, And Here I Am is both a powerful Palestinian tale of the past and an urgent story of the present. Based on the life and performed by Ahmed Tobasi, it spans the First and Second Intifada. Following his epic journey from the battle-scarred alleys of Jenin Camp to the confines of Israeli prison, from armed resistance against invasion to cultural resistance against eradication. Combining fact and fantasy, tragedy and comedy, award-winning writer Hassan Abdulrazzak captures an extraordinary odyssey of defiance and the unbreakable pursuit of freedom. www.FringePalestine.com
