THE GAZA MONOLOGUES were read in Sauve on September 14, 2025. Simsalabim Productions, together with the people of Sauve and in collaboration with Ashtar Theatre Palestine and music by Label'Med, presented the GAZA Monologues in Le Temple, Sauve, France. The Gaza Monologues were written by 32 young theatre students at Ashtar Theatre, Gaza, in 2010. They wrote again in 2014 and in 2024. By 2024, more than one-third of the young writers had been killed. It was a very intense experience for everyone taking part in the reading, as the genocide in Gaza brings every day terrible stories of unrelenting suffering. Directed by: Freya Stang

The Monologues we read during this reading were written by: Reem Afanah, Tamer Najem, Alaa Hajjaj, Mahmud Balawi, Yasmeen Ja´rour, Amjad Aby Yassin

The 'Freak Show' at the Galerie Vidourle Prix in Sauve ends with an unlikely tenant from Simsalabim Productions moving in

For the end of Sophie Crumb and Solenne Capmas curated Freak Show at the Gallerie Vidourle Prix in Sauve, Languedoc, a new elderly tenant moved in! We love co-creating in this space; the space is surrounded by art that springs out from the walls with new artists and the cartoons, paintings, and drawing collections of Family Crumb. Mask theatre is the perfect bridge between the different art forms inside the Gallerie Vidourle. Thanks to everyone who turned up. Mask player and maker: Freya Stang.
