A powerful and deeply human monodrama — full of humour, warmth, and honesty.

Through his sharp wit and heartfelt storytelling, Jihad reveals the journey of a young man navigating stereotypes and challenges in Austria, made even more complex by his name: Jihad. ´

Raised in the West Bank, Jihad now lives in Vienna as a freelance actor and social worker. His family still lives in Palestine, and his personal story is shaped by displacement, resilience, and the search for belonging.

Performed in German, and some English and Arabic with humour and heart, My Jihad invites us to see the human behind the headlines — and to walk beside him on his path as a Palestinian navigating the European landscape.
