Khashabi Theatre
Since 2011, Bashar Murkus, a playwright and director, and Khulood Basel, a creative producer and dramaturge, have worked together in combining artistic vision and independent political production thinking. The duo creates original theatrical works by delving into long-term theatrical research paths, driven by a desire to raise questions about important human and political themes for audiences in Palestine and the world.
Basel and Murkus manage the Khashabi Theatre in Haifa, which they co-founded with a group of Palestinian theatre makers.
Khashabi Theatre is an independent Palestinian theatre that works towards a society that freely practices art and creativity as a natural right, and strives to renew its cultural identity by placing independent culture front and centre. It is a space that challenges societal, political, and artistic taboos and forms a renewed state of art that depends on cooperation and mutual support.
