Khalil Khalil
In his performance, named after his martyred brother, Khalil AlBattran explores the lives of Palestinian children named after their martyred relatives as a tribute to their memory and as a means of sustaining resistance, as perceived by their families and society. Khalil tries to reconcile with two identities, using dance and music as a means to express his emotions and assert his own identity, free from the responsibility of bearing the martyr’s name.
