SUMMARY:World Premiere: The Keepers of Infinite Space
DESCRIPTION:The Moving Theatre in association with Global Uncertainties pre
 sents the world premiere\nTHE KEEPERS OF INFINITE SPACE\nby Omar El-Khairy
  with contributions from Caroline Rooney.\nDirected by Zoe Lafferty. Desig

 n. Costume by Susan Kulkarni. Produced by Chris Foxon.\nFeaturing Philip C
 orreia\, Edmund Kingsley\, Cornelius Macarthy\, Hilton McRae\, Laura Prior
 \, Sirine Saba\, Patrick Toomey and John Wark.\nThe team behind 2012’s i
 nternational hit The Fear of Breathing return with a hard-hitting examinat
 ion of the Israeli prison system\, one of the central issues in the latest
  Israel-Palestine peace process\, which will run at the Park Theatre from 
 22 January – 16 February 2014\n\nSince the Israeli occupation in 1967\, 
 Palestine has become a nation of prisons. Up to 40% of the male population
  have been detained under military orders\, often without charge or legal 
 representation\, with devastating consequences not only practically but ps
 ychologically for a country struggling to survive.\n\nWith the release of 
 political prisoners and the attendant media manipulation from both sides a
  key part of the stuttering peace process\, The Keepers of Infinite Space 
 explores the Israeli prison system and reveals its fraught legacy for Isra
 elis and Palestinians alike.\n\nFollowing the true stories of life in the 
 Syrian revolution explored in the hugely successful\, international hit Th
 e Fear of Breathing\, director Zoe Lafferty\, Associate Director at The Fr
 eedom Theatre Palestine\, returns to the UK with a project drawing on the 
 true-life experiences of those at the heart of the prison system.\n“You
 ’ve got to learn when to throw your punches – when they least expect i
 t. There’s no use flailing in the dark. This is where battles are raged 
 – and wars won.”\nSaeed is a bookseller in Nablus. His father Khalil i
 s a property developer. They’re just an ordinary family\, quietly buildi
 ng a new Palestine. Until one day Saeed is arrested and thrown in gaol. As
  his future disappears\, Saeed finds that the answer to his problems may l
 ie in the past\, and in the secrets his father has kept from him…\n\nThe
  Keepers of Infinite Space will be live-streamed free of charge around the
  world as part of The Moving Theatre’s commitment to stimulating debate 
 and discussion through engaging\, true-to-life political theatre-making.\n
