This place is a very touristic site in east Jerusalem. The site is build in the middle of Silwan which is a Palestinian neighbourhood where Israeli government ha already destroyed Palestinian houses and gave one week ago others leaving orders to 5 Palestinians families. There's weekly demonstration there. But in those days of holidays such actions are more powerful.
The idea is to act in couple.
One is handcuffs and the other is supposed to behave as the oppressor.
In the middle of this place this action was really meaningful.
As soon as they started to enter this public space, some people started to shouted very loudly at them :
" You are punk and anarchist !"
"Imagine that Gilad shalid is in this position since 4 years!"
" Who do you think you are ?!"
"You hate Israel!"
This performance really moved me.
One of the basic prinsiple was that in any case you're not responding to people.
And this remains it even more powerfull !
We decided to join our creature to them at some points.
They were some very edgy moment in terms of tense interactions.
As if people were about to beat them...
I had rarely being witness of so much hate.
