ZIAD IN GAZA

  Sitting on the couch, focusing on nothing, hearing bombs from time to time, my sister and Ahmad start a conversation about theatre. They talk about the history of theatre in the Arab world and about the most iconic plays that have left an impact on the culture and public perspectives. They share their recommendations of their favourite plays.

I admire how they enjoy a normal discussion that any two people around the world might have.

I think back to a conversation I had earlier today with one of the kids. She asked me if I could have a superpower, which one would it be? I told her that I would like to be invisible. I have changed my mind – I want the superpower of being normal, living a mundane life and discussing everyday topics.
