About

Palestinian-Israeli actor Yousef Sweid explores a life between different cultures and narratives. Combining personal anecdotes with political reflection, he recalls his childhood as an Arab Christian child in a Jewish kindergarten and offers humorous perspectives on everyday family life in Berlin. How are Sweid’s Jewish-Arab children supposed to find their way in a world where their “in-betweenness” seems to be not a bridge but an invalid position? The performance makes a case for listening to neglected stories and accepting complexity and contradictions.
