Majenin means ‘crazy people’ in Arabic. The Palestinian rom-com you’ve been waiting for: a tale of two fools who dare to love in a world obsessed with their sadness. Torn between New York, London and Palestine, the only place they truly feel at home is inside of their shared madness.
Writer/performer Marena Riyad blends stand-up and theatre to create an intimate satirical, poetic occupation of the heart.
“An extraordinary story about the complex and universal realities of what happens when two people—two artists—fall in love. It is brilliant. .” ★★★★★ Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2026
Elevator Project
The Center supports small, emerging, and historically marginalized arts organizations and artists who entertain and challenge our community in meaningful ways. The Elevator Project has evolved into a curated season of bold, genre-spanning work — selected through a competitive process by a panel of arts professionals and advocates.
The Elevator Project is presented by the Eugene McDermott Foundation, and generously supported by the City of Dallas Office of Arts and Culture, The Theodore and Beulah Beasley Foundation, and the Texas Commission on the Arts.
