Gaza's displaced Palestinians are creating theatre performances using makeshift materials and improvised spaces, the Palestine News Network reported. Artists fashion curtains from cloth scraps, construct puppets from discarded food cans, and transform streets and squares into stages. The productions emerge from tent settlements housing those displaced by ongoing conflict in the territory.
Theatre has become a form of cultural survival and expression among Gaza's displaced population. Performers adapt traditional artistic practice to conditions of extreme scarcity, staging works despite limited resources and the physical constraints of displacement camps. The makeshift performances represent efforts by artists to maintain cultural life and provide audiences with moments of artistic engagement during displacement.
