Founded in 2006, Combatants for Peace brings former members of the Israeli Defense Forces and fighters from the Palestinian resistance together to share their experiences, their grief and their determination to build a culture of peace amid the ongoing war that has wracked their peoples for 75-years. It is the only peace group in the world that was founded and is run by ex-combatants on both sides of an active conflict.
“Breaking the Cycle of Violence” will focus on the performance work of Combatants for Peace: how they use theatre as a tool for dialogue, conflict transformation, non-violent resistance to the occupation and the ongoing mass killing in Gaza—how they are nurturing collective imagination in the context of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian reality. They will share experiences from performances, workshops, and community interventions, highlighting both the artistic and activist dimensions of their work.
The session will be led by Combatants for Peace co-founders Chen Alon, Head of the Community Theatre Camp; Artivism Program at Tel Aviv University, and Sulaiman Khatib, who, arrested at the age of 14, spent ten years in Israeli prisons. In 2017, Alon and Khati were nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
