Gecko Theatre CompanyThe Arab and the Jew
We have seen our fathers shouting and waving their arms in the air. We have watched from a distance and hidden from the news. Allel Nedjari and Amit Lahav grew up on opposite sides of the Arab-Israeli divide. Here they celebrate their brotherhood and laugh and cry at their reflections. Following the multiple-award winning Taylor's Dummies and The Race, The Arab & The Jew is both a riot of sound, image and movement and an ambitious dance of reason and conciliation - performed with Gecko's characteristic exuberance and physical skill.
