He’s been ten years old since 1969.
Naji al-Ali drew Hanzala — a barefoot child with his back turned — and said he wouldn’t grow up until Palestine was free. Al-Ali was assassinated in London in 1987. Hanzala is still ten.
After October 2023 we asked ourselves, what we could do as artists. The answer was on the wall. We built a show around him: his cartoons animated, live music, film, poetry, theater, and dance. We performed it for the first time in February 2024 with more than 20 artists from different cultures, and people stayed afterward to tell us how impactful and healing this experience was.
