Show Info
Written and performed by Aaron Davidman
Directed by Michael John Garcés
Set in America, Israel and Palestine, Wrestling Jerusalem follows one man's journey to understand the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Davidman's excavation into the contours of conflict illuminates a personal story that grapples with the complexities of identity, history and social justice.
Writer and performer Aaron Davidman gives voice to seventeen different characters, animating their struggles, soul searchings and barriers, shedding light and offering hope in the midst of one of the most enduring conflicts of our time.
Wrestling Jerusalem comes to 59E59 following sold-out and critically-acclaimed engagements at the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis and Mosaic Theatre in Washington D.C..
