Enter Ghost

by Isabella Hammad

In a narrative woven with threads of diaspora and the cultural resonance of Shakespeare, 'Enter Ghost' reveals the inner turmoil of Sonia Nasir, an actress grappling with the end of her marriage and a love affair gone awry. Seeking solace, she returns to her familial roots in Haifa, Palestine, where her bond to her homeland is as complex as it is deep-seated. Amidst her personal struggles, Sonia encounters Mariam, a compelling local director, and is drawn into a West Bank production of 'Hamlet.' In the throes of rehearsal, reciting Gertrude's verses in classical Arabic, Sonia finds herself amid a group united by their dedication to art despite the chaos of political turmoil. As the reality of mounting conflicts encroaches on the troupe, Sonia's journey becomes one of self-discovery and renewal in the face of adversity. Isabella Hammad's 'Enter Ghost' is a poignant exploration of identity, resilience, and the transformative power of collective resistance and artistic expression.
