An old proverb says, "An enemy is someone whose story you do not know."

WRESTLING JERUSALEM is a solo performance piece about Israel and Palestine. It's a personal story of wrestling. Of grappling. With identity. With social justice. With ethnic allegiance. With history. With spirituality. Drawn from a 30 year journey, the 90 minute play weaves a tapestry of narratives and gives voice and humanity to a dozen different characters. Set in America, Israel and the Palestine, WRESTLING JERUSALEM reflects on the multi-layered issues that live at the center of a conflict that has lasted generations.

Davidman has written new material in response to the recent war in Gaza. "Something has changed with this most recent conflict," he says. I felt the need to respond."
