The Bridge
A leaking container of olive oil travels from Jenin towards Amman, carrying one family’s ritual through checkpoints, occupation and separation.
First Night is a theatre diary for logging the shows you've seen and discovering what to see next.
Every year, Alaa’s mother sends olive oil from his grandfather’s trees in Jenin to her sister in Amman, and Alaa delivers it himself. The journey requires crossing the bridge out of the West Bank, where he travels alongside other Palestinians while the container leaks steadily through border crossings and into Jordan.
Storytelling, stand-up and physical comedy are used to trace one journey and the travellers encountered along the way, with family connection set against borders and occupation.
personal storytelling, road journeys, political comedy and family stories shaped by borders and displacement.
