Jerusalem

English

English
Two people not from here
Building a life
A future
Full of hope
Jerusalem is their playground
A place that symbolises a beginning
The epicentre of three world religions
Where an interminable struggle about ideologies and possession is played out

Reflecting on where they come from and what kind of world they grew up in, Scarlet Tummers and Atta Nasser question what doing Good means to them. Scouring through religious themes, they talk about life and everything that goes with it. Jerusalem is a contemporary search for meaning.

Jerusalem was created within the framework of de medeSTANders, an initiative in which young makers develop a performance under the wings of STAN. Both Scarlet Tummers and Atta Nasser are already connected to the company: Atta was part of Move (on) and Orphans, Scarlet of Somnia and De Kersentuin. This was followed by the creations of A Separation and About Elly based on the eponymous Iranian films of Asghar Farhadi.
