Najah, Tima, Rania, Fatima and Fida meet in March 2021 for an artist’s residency in the mountains outside Beirut, coming together to create an original piece of theatre. As the country grapples with collapse, TILKA weaves together their individual stories With a collective story of displacement, motherhood and hope told through the play.
