parallel
lives are separated by a barrier at center stage.  Over the course of =
the
day, the young Israeli and Palestinian strive to realize their dreams of
fame and fortune, yet encounter the distinct ways in which political
conflict negates youthful dreams.  Combining theatrical versatility, =

with
the precision of a seasoned solo performer and the beats of a hip-hop
