# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Horse of Jenin (Palestine)
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 02 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Thu, 02 Apr, 2026 at 08:15 pm
- **Event Description**: After a major invasion of Jenin in April 2002, a German artist led an art workshop using the wreckage of bombed-out homes, cars, and ambulances. A giant sculpture of a horse was constructed and, as an Arab symbol of freedom, the horse became the pride of Jenin. In November 2023, an Israeli bulldozer removed the horse. 

In this solo show, performer Alaa Shehada investigates: What happened to the horse? Was it arrested? Did they put it in jail? And, did it tell the story of what happened to his best friend Ahmed? Using fragments of his memories and humorous personal stories, Alaa builds a new horse that is a theatrical symbol of Palestinian resistance, resilience, and the power of imagination.

In the Ellyn Bye Studio at Portland Center Stage.
