Written and directed by Justin Butcher and Ahmed Masoud, it seeks to create a highly atmospheric fusion of moving personal testimonies with searing film images and soundscape bearing witness to the dignity, courage and suffering of the people of Gaza.

In the words of Butcher it is "A ritual. A requiem. An act of mourning. A space and a moment - set aside from people's busy email-driven, mobile phone buzzing, credit-crunch anxious daily lives - which people can enter, in which they can hear and see enacted the true stories of those in Gaza, simply staged, subtly supported with appropriate music and lighting."

Performed by a Palestinian and British cast, it comes as a response to the human slaughter which led many onlookers to despair. The performance speaks not just of that despair, and the pain and suffering inflicted on ordinary people, but of the deeper strength and courage of those who were left to cope alone, away from the world's cameras, remote from the help of aid agencies. In spite of the constraints, people inside Gaza have contributed photos, video footage and testimonies for this production.
