Solidarity with Palestine: end the genocide

Our work centres stories of migration, displacement, and belonging, which connect us deeply to the struggles of people forced from their homes again and again. Proudly Asian Theatre Company fiercely condemns the ongoing genocide in Gaza. We grieve the devastating loss of Palestinian lives, culture, and land, and we stand in solidarity with all who resist violence and displacement.

As a company, we have consistently opposed these atrocities and called for action in emails to government officials.

We are deeply disappointed that our government has failed to take meaningful steps in response, especially recently failing to recognise Palestine as a state.

We call on the New Zealand Government to take immediate and concrete action, including:

  • Imposing targeted sanctions on Israel

  • Ending all military and trade support that enables ongoing violence

  • Providing emergency visas for Palestinians seeking refuge and safety

  • Recognising Palestine as a state

It is Aotearoa’s responsibility to act on behalf of what’s right for humanity.
