Between the River and the Sea
Between the River and the Sea
© Maxim Gorki Theater - 2026
»The complexity I’ve lived with all my life has forced me to be alone with my position. If I’m already alone anyway, why not be alone in front of an audience?«
Yousef Sweid, born in Haifa, is a Palestinian Israeli actor – someone who grew up between two worlds and has always grappled with that complexity. In his play, Sweid explores his life between different cultures, narratives, and realities – different versions of the truth. He interweaves personal anecdotes with his unique political reflections, sharing everything from funny stories about life in Berlin to flashbacks of his childhood as an Arab kid from a Christian family in a Jewish kindergarten. He seeks to understand how to navigate a world where he always finds himself »in between.«
Between the River and the Sea is a heartfelt plea for sharing unheard stories and for listening. It is an invitation to embrace complexity and to witness the story of a life that simply cannot choose an easy side.
