This Is Who I Am at American Repertory Theatre

Broadcast live for each performance, two actors perform a balancing act of care and resentment, closeness and vast separation, as they cook in real time over video chat.Separated by continents, an estranged father and son reunite over Zoom. From their respective kitchens in Ramallah and New York City, they recreate a cherished family recipe and struggle to bridge the gap between them, one ingredient at a time.Told through the intimacy of a video call with humor and humanity, Amir Nizar Zuabis new play explores the unpredictable nature of grief and the delicacy of family connection across geographical and generational divides.
