Souls, a play exploring the situation in Israel-Palestine is part of the 2018 Edmonton Fringe Festival.
“Do you see an end to this struggle?” asks Hannah, the protagonist of Syrian playwright Aksam Alyousef’s new play Souls. This daring and sensitive play explores the notions of justice, guilt, redemption, and the complex emotions and opinions that swirl around the ongoing conflict in Israel-Palestine.
It tells the story of Hannah, a Canadian lawyer who moves to Israel with her husband, and into the home of a displaced Palestinian family. Hannah’s conscience is shaken when she meets the soul of the previous resident – a woman killed by a settler’s bullet.
