Abstract

Holot Legislative Theatre (HLT) is a mixed group of African asylum seekers and Israeli allies. Through continuously evolving, modular, interactive performances, the ensemble presents social dilemmas created by Israeli state policy towards refugees and asylum seekers. Based on testimonies and personal stories, HLT offers a rereading of the 1951 UN Refugee Convention.
