«Palestinians are your eyes, your tattoo. Palestinians are your name, your dreams, your thoughts, and your handkerchief.»

Six stories, four voices from Gaza. Palestinians are Your Eyes is a project by the Italian-Palestinian company Anqa, bringing to life a collective narrative that knows no borders.

This is not just a date on the calendar; it is an open wound in our company's history.

On that day in 2023, Abraham Saidam—a young performer with Anqa—was killed by Israeli bombardment.
We have chosen this date to honor his memory and transform grief into cultural resistance.

On and around October 15, 2026, these stories will resonate in unison during a global premiere across the world.

We want these stories to reach every corner of the globe.
