Between Conflicts and Tables

“Between Conflicts and Tables” combined the experience of different identities living in Israel and Palestine, along with immersive elements such as footages, photography, poetry, food and fire, the performer traveled between three walls projected with materials, with her oral narration, she interacted with audiences in the reappearance of a land that she cannot returned to for the time being, as well as different people stuck in between.

When the conflicts intensified, the performance came to a kitchen table workshop, where people cooked together, worked together, and discussed topics such as history, religion, tradition, ethnicity, culture and homeland together. Food had become an important medium for the transmission of identity and values. It had also become a possibility for integration in a divided political system.

「界・現？穿梭在以巴衝突與餐桌間」揉合不同角色蹲點以色列、巴勒斯坦的經驗，在沉浸式素材如錄像、平面攝影、詩作、食物與火等元素裡，演出者在三面投影中穿梭、口述、以及與觀者互動，再現一塊暫時無法歸返的土地，以及處於夾縫之人。

當衝突愈演愈烈，表演進入一場餐桌工作坊，人們共同烹飪與勞動，討論歷史、宗教、傳統、民族、文化與土地認同。食物成了傳遞身份認同與價值觀的重要媒介，也成為分裂政治體下一種交融的可能。
