Another Lover’s Discourse ليه خلّتني أحبك is the first solo theatre show created and performed  by Riham Isaac, one of Palestine’s most exciting contemporary artists. Encouraging a more  open conversation about how we understand romantic relationships, this unique piece mashes  up interviews with friends, family and strangers, combining video, music, performance and  original film to explore the complexity of love and relationships.

3 years ago, Isaac embarked on a journey to explore what it means to love; what ideas do we  have about it and what was holding her back from it? This inventive new multimedia  performance and irreverent look at romance invites you to think differently about love; to shake  off stereotypes, free yourself from old traditions and think about what you actually want. It will  resonate with anyone who has ever wondered: is this really all there is?

"The whole idea for me was to do a personal investigation into the theme of love: to find out more, maybe to find answers. I wanted to express it in its complexity because  love can be very complex, it can be very simple. Sharing your personal experience with the  audience – it’s a healing process. A big part of my work was doing interviews, a kind of documentation where I was asking different people about love. I think one of the key moments in my performance is my interview with my mother, more of an intimate conversation that I  wished I had when I was a kid. I do believe that revolution doesn’t happen just by going out in  the street; I think revolution starts from within." Riham Isaac
