Why Are Comedians More Trusted Than Politicians Now?
🎬 Inside the Arthouse | COEXISTENCE, MY ASS! — Comedy, Conflict, and the Fight for Peace
The war in Gaza may have quieted under a fragile ceasefire, but the conflict between Israel and Palestine continues to divide. In a world where politicians fail to find common ground, can comedy succeed where diplomacy has stalled?
In filmmaker Amber Fares’s new documentary, COEXISTENCE, MY ASS!, we meet Noam Shuster-Eliassi — a former UN staffer turned comedian using humor to bridge the divide between Israelis and Palestinians. Her story spans from the early days of her one-woman show, through the pandemic shutdown, and into the aftermath of October 7, 2023, revealing a fearless performer who refuses to stop laughing — or speaking truth to power — even in the darkest moments.
Our hosts Raphael Sbarge and Greg Laemmle sit down with Amber Fares and Noam Shuster-Eliassi to talk about satire, resistance, and the role of art in times of conflict — from Tel Aviv to late-night TV.
🎙️ Inside the Arthouse — where filmmakers and storytellers go beyond the frame.
