Fragment Theater and Hope and Smile Group are a creative structures that work with children in Jenin and Gaza. They urgently need to create new shows for children in Gaza.

Fragment theater is a creative structure in Jenin, Palestine. The team and community are offering help to ensure that children in Gaza are held up with hope and motivation. Right now, just €1500 can make a difference and make a little dream come true. This contribution will be sent to Gaza, to the Hope and Smile Group, which needs this support for scenery, props, toys, instructors, make-up and all the simplest and possible tools to bring hope and creativity to these children.

About the author

Fragments Theater in Jenin, brings together artists from Jenin in Palestine with the local community and other artistic platforms in Palestine and the rest of the world. Using media, theater and visual arts, we want to ensure that local voices are heard.
Peter Pan in Jenin
An Arabic adaptation of the classic tale, set in Jenin. Featured at Cinema Jenin in April 2013. https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=wBvqgh3XCSE&feature=youtu.be

In 2014, Fragments Theater produced Puppet and Mask Projects - “Training the Trainers” in Salfeet and Jenin. Fragments also produced the theater project “Windows”. In the same year, Fragments Theater hosted the first mobile art festival - Cargotopia Festival - in Jenin. The event included tango workshops, physical theater workshops and sculpture-making workshops.
In 2015 we were working on the theater project “Chaos in the City”. It was a play about an oppressed city that decides to stand up for its rights that were taken away by an evil king. We also run theater workshops in partnership with the Orphanage School (Northern Palestine) and circus workshops with children.

In 2016, we staged Joha Play, which was performed on the streets of Jenin City and in the village of Ya'bad. In 2016 we also took a trip to India, where we introduced Joha Play and conducted storytelling workshops. In India, the play was staged in Pune, Kamshet and Mombai in collaboration with O'chestrated O Works Theater in Pune.

In 2017, 2018
We were mainly working with the two projects: Act for Change and Youth for Change. The first consisted of drama and videotherapy workshops, as well as film screenings and debates at the Jenin Cinema Club with the opening of the Stand Up Comedy Club and the official opening was in collaboration with Netflix with the presence of director Larry Charls.

It was a transformative year, Fragments rented an old Ottoman house, renovated the space with little support and inaugurated the first Exhibition of Modern Art in Jenin, the exhibition was supported by the ZFD Forum, now the house is a space for the community and artists to create and present their work.
