The Performance Project, ASHTAR Theatre, Eagle Project, Co-Op Theatre East, and Friends of ASHTAR, NYC Present:
The Eagle Goes East: An Evening of Forum Theatre Devised in Collaboration with Palestinian and Native American Performers at ASHTAR Theatre (Palestine) and Eagle Project (New York City)
ASHTAR Theatre, the oldest Palestinian youth theatre in the West Bank in collaboration with Eagle Project, the only Lenape led intertribal and multicultural performing arts company in New York City present an evening of forum theatre addressing some of the most critical issues affecting Native Americans in New York City. Led by Iman Aoun, founder and artistic director of ASHTAR, The Eagle Goes East is a night of interactive theatre led by an ensemble of Native American artists, addressing problems at home and making global connections.
This performance is the culmination of a five-day Theatre of the Oppressed workshop/rehearsal process between the performers and Iman Aoun. Together, the ensemble explores how to best use theatre practices to address the most critical issues affecting their communities and to build solidarity and fellowship between Native American and Palestinian artists.

Since 2007, The Performance Project has been offering local young artists and professional emerging artists opportunities to connect, create and publicly present new work. We support artists who are interested in how live art can heal, empower and activate. The artists we work with commit to organizational and creative practices that promote trust, imagination and power-sharing. Our incubator for the next generation of citizen artists is fueled by our distinct, yet connected, cohorts: the Artist-in-Residence Program for Social Practice Artists, The Performance Project Fellowship Program for Early Emerging Artists, our Community Arts and Culture Councils for Public Housing Residents and our annual Performance-Making Intensive for Young Artists & Leaders. We also host other community programs and dynamic guest artists seeking an affordable and supportive opportunity to self-produce their work.
