“Think about your whole collection, all of your books. Just let yourself think about that for a moment. What if someone took them from you?”

Staged July at 53two in Manchester.

​Set in a Bookshop, under threat of demolition,  in occupied East Jerusalem. The Tremors is about an unequal relationship between two women. It explores the magic of books, erasure of history & the Palestinian struggle against occupation.
