charge to cancel the contract. We therefore contacted the press
to raise this question. Immediately, we received another invita-
tion from the New York Theater. We received a remarkable
reception by the US audience. After our first show, it was dif-
ficult to get a ticket less than a week in advance. Since it isimpos-
sible to blot out the sun, the Zionists cannot destroy our cultural
character, whatever they do.
Were you invited to Arab theater festivals?
We were invited three times to the Carthage Theater Festi-
val and to others in Morocco and Kuwait. We are hoping to per-
form in Cairo this year, and to participate in the Damascus The-
ater Festival. But this doesn’t fulfill our dream of having ongo-
ing contacts with our Arab brothers.
What has been the reaction to your productions?
The reactions come from two sources. The first is con-
nected to the occupied territories and the second is the attitude
in the West. There are two contradictory positions on our work
in the occupied territories: One is supporting us, and the otheris
opposing us for our use of symbolism. Concerning the West, it is
the intifada that has played a decisive role in getting Western
audiences to attend our shows. In fact, we always feared facing
this audience, not only because of their education and taste in
theater, but because we feared not being able to dispell the
effects of Zionist propaganda on them. In spite of that, Western
audiences have expressed acceptance of our theater’s form,
content and vision. Moreover, we have received offers to per-
form at international festivals, and prominent newspapers, such
as The New York Times and The Guardian, have praised our
work.
How do you feel about Al Hakawati’s receiving a
special award from the Arab Thought Forum?
We are very happy for two reasons: The first is that our
group was chosen since it represents one of the cultural activities
in the occupied territories. The second is because this sign of
appreciation comes from an Arab group that we holdinesteem. @
New Book: The Calls of the Intifada
Ibal Publishing Ltd. has come out with a book, No Voice is
Louder than the Voice of the Uprising in English, which con-
tains calls 1-47 of the United National Leadership of the

vering the period from January 1988 until October 1989, this
collection of the calls provides a first-hand document of the
daily struggle and political positions of the Palestinian
intifada in its first two years. The text of the Palestinian
Declaration of Independence is also included.
We are sending one copy of this book to all our sub-
scribers, which will be counted as your receiving one issue
of Democratic Palestine. You can order additional copies by
