This documentary-style play by Jen Marlowe tells the true story of Aseel Asleh, a Palestinian teen who was killed by Israeli police, and his family’s struggle for justice. Performed by NYC activists and organizers in the Movement for Black Lives, immigrant rights, Latinx organizers, anti-police brutality activists, and more, the play hits home in more ways than one.

The performance (which is the culminating event of a four day artistic residency) will be followed by a post-play discussion with the performers about intersectional solidarity. Optional workshop to follow.

Tickets are a suggested donation of $10 and can be purchased here.

CCR is proud to cosponsor There Is a Field alongside Cop Watch Alliance, Jewish Voice for Peace, Justice League-NYC, Matters of the Earth, Millions March, Peñasco Theater Collective, V-Day, and Verso Books.
