Holy Land has been presented in Paris, Vienna, Prague, London, Milan, Jerusalem, Rio de Janeiro, Stockholm and Hamburg. The U.S. premiere features a translation by NY-based playwright Chantal Bilodeau and is presented by 3rd Kulture Kids.

Directed by Tracy Cameron Francis, the cast will feature Jojo Gonzalez, Sean Carvajal, Ana Grosse, Gil Perez-Abraham and Pia Haddad.

Here's how the work is billed: "Can we find humor and poetry in extreme situations? Mohamed Kacimi's compelling and entertaining Holy Land answers this question as five contemporary characters face the devastation of war. A city under siege…the landscape is dusty, devastated. Carmen has disappeared at a checkpoint; her daughter, Imen, must face a soldier's house search alone. In the house next door, Alia, a midwife, prepares her coffee as if nothing else matters while Yad, her husband, gets away from it all by smoking and drinking. The only hope seems to reside in Jesus: the cat. This dark and humorous story follows 5 characters hanging on to the banality of day-to-day life, at times to the point of insanity, as a way to transcend the atrocities of war."

The creative team includes Charles Coes (sound designer), Lisa Renee Jordan (costume designer), Sheryl Liu (set designer), Miguel Valderrama (lighting designer) and Laura Perez (stage manager).
