”I felt like I needed to scream. I don't want to scream on social media like everybody else does … I felt I needed to find my way of screaming, my scream.' — Yousef Sweid
A Palestinian-Israeli who grew up in Haifa, Sweid premiered his solo play Between the River and the Sea at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Since then, he has performed it tosold-our audiences at Berlin’s Maxim Gorki Theater. Based on his life story, Sweid's deeply personal work explores identity, belonging, and cultural hybridity. Praised for its raw honesty, dark humor, and nuance, the performance illuminates the artist’s lived experience, a life suspended between languages, cultures, and conflicting historical narratives.
In this episode, internationally acclaimed actor Yousef Sweid reflects on his play ‘Between the River and the Sea’ and dives into what it means to live and create art from an in-between position. The conversation asks how moderation and human relationships can provide concrete paths for the future, and explore hybridity and art as a means to embrace complexity.
