Julianos Dream
(Interlude)

“Look, theater is a place

Where you can dream

And we here,

We don’t dream anymore

Even the small kids

The maximum dream is about death

We lost directions,

We lost the dream,

The dream of a free society

Of culture
You know, Palestine

This is not Palestine

This is the…

This is the...

The...

The footsteps of the dust from the dream of Palestine

We lost the Intifada,

We lost the public opinion,

We fucked up

Because we were not clever enough

We were raged,

Angry,

Frustrated,
Desperate

You can’t create a resistance with desperation

With desperation you can create suicide bombers

And this is what we did

Because we were so angry

So hurt

So destroyed

That the only thing we could do is to blow ourselves in Tel Aviv

Now once we learned that this is going to create the opposite,

We might start

A new kind of resistance.”

-Juliano Mer-Khamis (1958-2011)
