RAYA seems a “once-upon-a-time”-fairytale, but it isn’t.

In a small, strange village, there’s Raya, the girl with the green hair. She’s the last survivor of the green-haired people.

Raya wants to find her parents, who were once banned from the village. Nobody knows why. Or nobodys tells her why. With the help of her friend Nana, who can read the magical language in the old newspapers, she sets out on a quest that will bring her to surprising and bizarre places…

“If I walk beside the track, I will get somewhere. I have to find them now, now that I’m still a child. I want them to read stories to me, before it’s too late. I don’t want to be remembered as the poor soul who had no parents. My mother must be a gorgeous woman with a beautiful voice. And I believe my father is a silent, mysterious man. I’m sure my parents tell each other day and night how much they love each other.”

RAYA is a philosophical and political fantasy-tale by the Palestinian theatre maker and author Rimah Jabr. She transforms her political background into a contemporary, funny, absurde but above all profound story.
