A Scene from the "Ras Roos" Play
Undated, this photograph shows Adel Tartir during a scene from the "Ras Roos (Head of Heads)" play, which is the first "monodrama" in the history of the Palestinian theatre movement, made by "The Wonder Box Theatre" and written, acted and directed by Adel Tartir in June 1980, while its name is derived from an Arabic curriculum by Khalil Sakakini. The play embodies realistic stories in a fictional world about nameless marginalized people in their communities, its first showing was on the playground of Sareyyat Ramallah in 1980 for three hours amidst a grand audience.
