Beirut-based NGO Masrah Ensemble, led by Eyad Houssami, invited her as part of its International Theatre Series, and to mark the launch of its new book, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/l\/20182\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Doomed by Hope: Essays on Arab Theatre<\/a>.  <br \/>  <br \/>  Beirut.com conducted an interview with Jajeh via email to find out more about her personal, politicized, and sometimes life-threatening show.<br \/>  <br \/>  <i><b>Beirut.com<\/b><\/i>: Why did you choose Hamas as a symbol? What does it represent vis-\u00e0-vis your show? <br \/>  <br \/>  <i><b>Jajeh<\/b><\/i>: Hamas represents a couple of different ideas in the show: first off, the expectations and stereotypes the West has of all Arabs, but it\u2019s also used as a means to question what is considered terrorism vs. resistance. However, the show really isn\u2019t about Hamas, but my own experiences grappling with violence and the Occupation. <br \/>  <br \/>  <i><b>Beirut.com<\/b><\/i>: While your show seems to seek to debunk stereotypes in America of Arabs, Palestinians, and the Israel-Arab conflict, how do you think your show will be received in the Middle East, where your audience is often fighting the same battle? Is there any ground you are hoping to break in Beirut?<br \/>  <br \/>  <i><b>Jajeh<\/b><\/i>: Audiences respond strongly to the show for a variety of reasons. Often they relate to my experiences of being between cultures and it reflects their own, or because the show presents a new perspective on the issues for them.  I think Beirut audiences will see a lot of themselves in the show, and enjoy the way I\u2019ve recast my struggles through comedy while allowing a lot of the difficulties to be there as well.  It may also be interesting for them to get an account filtered through my upbringing as an American.<br \/>  <br \/>  <i><b>Beirut.com<\/b><\/i>: Do you consider yourself an activist for the Palestinian cause? How do you manage to balance the political implications of your show with the personal?<br \/>  <br \/>  <i><b>Jajeh<\/b><\/i>: The show is deeply personal, but as Palestinians, everything about us is politicized by those on the outside looking in. It\u2019s impossible to divorce the two in peoples\u2019 minds. That\u2019s part of the point I\u2019m making. It\u2019s exhausting to represent the \u201cPalestinian\u201d perspective, as if that\u2019s even possible or it\u2019s just one thing.  And if I\u2019m expected to do so, I\u2019ll need a promotion and paid vacation time ASAP. <br \/>  <br \/>  <i><b>Beirut.com<\/b><\/i>: Have you ever received any threats?<br \/>  <br \/>  <i><b>Jajeh<\/b><\/i>: Threats, yes. I\u2019ve often thought about doing a show just reading the crap emails people send to me because the mere existence of my show and its title offends them.  Just reading \u201cDIE DIE DIE DIE!!!\u201d (and other not so nice, un-printable messages) in a really melodramatic fashion feels like a fun way to deal with these lunatics. <br \/>  <br \/>  <i><b>Beirut.com<\/b><\/i>: Is there ever a time you feel like addressing a different topic entirely?<br \/>  <br \/>  <i><b>Jajeh<\/b><\/i>: YES. I\u2019ve been touring this show for five years and am ready to take on some new topics. I\u2019d like to try something a bit lighter, and more comedic.  Maybe something that deals with a sunnier reality.  <br \/>  <br \/>  <i><b>Beirut.com<\/b><\/i>: Have you ever performed in Palestine? If not, do you plan to?<br \/>  <br \/>  <i><b>Jajeh<\/b><\/i>: I haven\u2019t, and have no immediate plans to, but my schedule changes pretty quickly so anything is possible.<br \/>  <br \/>  <i><b>Beirut.com<\/b><\/i>: What urged you to go to Palestine in 2000 and how did your visit change you? Your show?<br \/>  <br \/>  <i><b>Jajeh<\/b><\/i>: I can\u2019t give everything away. Let\u2019s just say it was my first trip to Palestine and it pretty much solidified a huge part of my identity. The second half of the show retells a lot of what happened to me there and the impact it had on my life. <br \/>  <br \/>  <i><b>Beirut.com<\/b><\/i>: You\u2019re currently at work on an Internet talk show called, &#8220;In Bed With Jen Jajeh.&#8221; What\u2019s the premise of this show and how is it the same or different as\/from \u201cI Heart Hamas\u201d?<br \/>  <br \/>  <i><b>Jajeh<\/b><\/i>: I launched &#8220;In Bed&#8221; a few years ago as a way to keep performing, but doing it in a much more fun, light-hearted way.  Basically, I interview artists, thinkers, activists, musicians, and generally interesting cultural figures in pajamas and in their beds, which puts a whole new spin on the on camera-interview model. My touring schedule over the last year pretty much put a halt to the show, but I\u2019m working on starting it up again.<br \/>  <br \/>  <i>To find about more about Jajeh&#8217;s performance at Metro
