A theatrical performance with five barefoot performers in neutral-toned clothing on a reflective stage. One pair embraces while others sit apart, conveying emotion through body language. Dramatic lighting enhances the sense of intimacy and isolation.

We’re honoured to share that MILK مِلْك by Khashabi Theatre has received a 4‑star review from The Guardian!

Directed by Bashar Murkus and produced by Khulood Basel, MILK is a powerful, visual performance that explores the fracture of time after disaster. This extraordinary piece of Palestinian theatre was shown at London's Southbank Centre last weekend – one of the first events for Shubbak Festival 2025.

⁠Thank you to the reviewers and audiences who have joined us so far. ⁠⁠The festival runs until Sunday 15th June. We’d love to see you there!
