Title: This is Who I Am
Venue and Format: Live/Zoom
Innovation: Play told through Zoom.
Separated by continents, an estranged father and son reunite over Zoom. From their respective kitchens in Ramallah and New York City, they recreate a cherished family recipe and struggle to bridge the gap between them, one ingredient at a time.
