The Last Palestinian Alive

A science-fiction solo show, which charts humanity’s spectacular downfall. Asheerah, a young woman enduring genocide, utilises local inventions to avoid consciously feeling the pain of bombings and annihilation. Wrapped in a shroud, she wakes up in 2055 and comes to realise that she is the last person on Earth. She finds a friend, an AI companion that carries the consciousness of Italian legal scholar and expert on human rights, Francesca Albanese. Asheerah learns, through Francesca’s history channels, how the world ended, and how those who resisted made sure to carry out justice before their demise. www.FringePalestine.com
