Talia is a middle-class Jew from Melbourne who has grown up with an idealistic view of Israel as her true home; 'the land of milk and honey'. Amal, a Palestinian Muslim is a single mother who lives with her young children in a squalid settlement just outside Israeli borders. The two women meet at the Aqueduct, a tourist attraction built under the 'old city' of Jerusalem during Roman times. They connect instantly, but can they rise above personal tragedy, cultural differences and bigotry? | Publication Type: | Original Creative Works - Other | Publisher: | Australian Music Centre | Place of Publication: | Grosvenor Place, Australia | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 190406 Music Composition 190407 Music Performance 190404 Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies |
