It’s enough that you want…
Willpower exists inside each one of us…
Kick fear from inside you…
Can we?
We can!
Turn willpower into action…
Before it grows old in you…
Many times you find excuses to strangle it…
Thinking that you will be saved…
No thirst…
There… in the deserted well…
The children of the camp set their willpower free…
… without fear…
They defended the morning chants….
… without thirst…
Only because they want…

The Kids in “The Deserted Well” come from 4 schools – all in the middle region of the Gaza in the city of Deir Al Balah. The kids are a mixed age group of 11-17. This is their first experience in making and touring a theatre play. They have been rehearsing for 3 months.
