In Between is a semi-autobiographical one-man show that portrays the complexities and contradictions inherent in Palestinian-Israeli identity.

Questions surrounding his identity become even further complicated by his imminent marriage to a Jewish American woman. Written and performed by Ibrahim Miari.
