Circus in Gaza 2022 Directed by Stefano Triggiani
In June 2022, a group of about 70 activists, artists, circus performers, skaters, musicians and reporters, from different Italian cities, laboriously obtained permission to enter the Gaza Strip. The aim is to promote a cultural exchange with the Gazans through a series of workshops and to organise a Women’s Forum with local women’s associations. The Gaza FreeStyle association has been organizing this type of projects within the Strip for several years, but it's the first time that the group of activists is so big. Also this year there are circus performers, who in previous caravans have managed to bring to Gaza several tools, even coordinating the construction of a circus tent in the northernmost area of the Strip, one of the most problematic from an economic and social point of view. This report focuses on the activities of the circus group and is aimed at raising funds to continue supporting the project.
