“You can learn something from every person you meet. Every person knows something that you don’t know.”
Two people not from here
Building a life
A future
Full of hope
Jerusalem is their playground
A place that symbolises a beginning
The epicentre of three world religions
Where an interminable struggle about ideologies and possession is played out
Atta Nasser, born in Jerusalem, and Scarlet Tummers, born in The Hague, meet each other on stage in a quest for identity and sense of purpose. Despite their differences and with their similarities, they want to examine the meaning of faith, both as a religious practice as in daily life. Belief is part of their world, entering it through their parents, partners and children. This conversation between two creators confronts themselves, each other and the audience with their interpretation of what Jerusalem stands for.
