Phoenix in the Holy Land is a powerful cry against injustice. A new play created by artist and playwright JuPong Lin, it responds to the ongoing Nakba in Palestine, transforming the agony of witnessing atrocities into spaces of deep listening and courageous conversations. The play weaves together searing poetry, legal testimony, and voices of activists resisting violent occupation in the Levant. The play draws from South Africa’s genocide case against Israel presented to the International Court of Justice and the poetry of Refaat Alareer, Mahmoud Darwish, Mosab Abu Toha, Solmaz Sharif and others.
This is more than a play. It is a call to witness, to listen, and to act. It turns grief into dialogue, silence into courage, and despair into resistance.
