Louay Tafish, an employee in the Deanship of Student Affairs at the Arab American University, stated that the theatrical performance “The Last Sunset,” which was produced in cooperation with our partners in the Freedom Theater, is an artistic work that embodies the internal and external conflict facing the Palestinian people under the siege and occupation. The performance also reflects the experience of a character of a young Palestinian woman, living in oppression and persecution, and seeking to build her own world of hope and imagination.

The Arab American University was represented at the conference by Dr. Said Abu Mualla, Head of the Digital Media Department at the Faculty of Modern Media, and Mr. Sudqi Mousa, Head of the Department of Arabic Language and Media at the Faculty of Arts and Education. Their participated was with a research paper titled “The Impacts of Information Perturbation on the Professional Performance of Palestinian Journalists in Their Coverage of the War against Gaza and the West Bank.”

The performance will be presented tomorrow, Monday, April 29, 2024, as part of the festival’s events. It displays the psychological conditions that our Palestinian people are experiencing in the Gaza Strip, especially in light of the war of extermination.

The theatrical show tells the story of a young Palestinian woman, before the outbreak of the war. She was living under siege, trying to build a world of imagination to escape the bitter reality. With the attack on Gaza, the young woman’s suffering deepens and her fantasies lead her to wish for the previous siege.
