SNAPSHOT:
A charged conversation about identity, friendship, and the search for home.
Rimah Jabr was born in Palestine, Natasha Greenblatt was born in Canada. They both have a connection to the same house in Israel/Palestine. Two Birds One Stone investigates the forces that push us through time and across continents to find each other.
A fictionalized documentary play featuring two dynamic performances from two very different performers, Two Birds One Stone asks complicated questions about identity, privilege, and home.
Natasha and Rimah share a recorded version of this live-intended production. A talk back session to follow.
Two Birds Theatre is dedicated to cross-cultural, intergenerational, and interdisciplinary collaborations. It was founded by Rimah Jabr and Natasha Greenblatt, theatre makers and friends based in Toronto, Canada, to produce Two Birds One Stone. We believe that personal stories have the power to provoke and inspire political change.
In 2015, Rimah moved to Toronto. In November 2015 Rimah and Natasha had their first cup of coffee together in the Theatre Centre cafe. Natasha told Rimah she needed a better coat. Rimah told Natasha it will be a warm winter. And it was.
