NGO #13538

Established in 1996, the Qafilah (‘Caravan’) theatre company has pioneered the practice of mobile theatre in Palestine. In a Hebron workshop the group skilfully converted a 1982 Ford truck into the state-of-the-art Moving Stage with a retractable 8m W x 6.15m D x 2m H platform fully equipped with sound and lighting systems for the presentation of professional theatre. The company’s principal aim is to provide accessible theatre productions for the Palestinian community and to this end it takes shows into towns, villages, refugee camps and other centres which would normally have no opportunity to experience live theatre.
