A powerful circus-theatre show, highlighting the struggles of refugees worldwide. The Palestinian performers reflect on their history – and the repetition of it today for millions of people.

SARAB brings together Palestinian performers in a jaw-dropping mix of circus and powerful storytelling – exploring the challenges faced by refugees around the world.

“We are forced,
We had no other option.
Dragged to an uncertain end,
On a road full of obstacles and checkpoints that we could barely pass.
Our destiny unknown.
During the long and rough journey,
We kept dreaming of the moment we would arrive,
Continuing our path towards the unknown.
Finally,
We arrive.
Have we reached our goal?
After floating earth and oceans,
We discover the unexpected.
It really was nothing, but a mirage.”

The Palestinian Circus was established in 2007 to bring circus to young people in Palestine. It offers young people the voice to speak up about their daily life, their struggle for freedom & their immense desire to live a dignified life.

Presented as part of Refugee Week 2025.
