'We have seen our fathers shouting and waving their arms in the air. We have watched from a distance and hidden from the news.'

Allel Nedjari and Amit Lahav are Gecko. Having grown up on opposite sides of the Arab-Israeli divide, here they celebrate their brotherhood and laugh and cry at their reflections.

Following the multiple-award winning Taylor’s Dummies and The Race (LIMF05) The Arab & The Jew is both a riot of sound, image and movement and an ambitious dance of reason and conciliation – performed with Gecko’s characteristic exuberance and physical skill.
