Dear Members and Friends:

SPHR would like to invite you to its annual cultural event featuring a play and dabkeh performance. This year the show is named "Behind Bars". It is an Arabic play about a Palestinian prisoner who reflects on the realities of his life in and out of "prison". The play is written, directed and produced by students from SPHR's branches in Montreal. Dabkeh which is the traditional folkloric dance of Palestine, will be presented during the play. The dabkeh will be performed by the Montreal student dakeh group Jabal Al-Nar. During the event an exhibition outside the hall depicting some of the late Naji Al-Ali's caricatures will be presented.

*Note: Proceeds from the event will be donated to support Palestinian families through the Child Sponsorship Program at the CPFQ.
