Like An Event In A Dream Dreamt By Another: A Rehearsal is one of the most talked-about movies released in 2023, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
In RPGs (role-playing games), one could say that real life can be rehearsed in a superstitious manner, with supernatural beings and worlds.

This project explores how Palestinian players, GTA mods, and servers are simulating real life under colonial rule. Like An Event In A Dream Dreamt By Another: A Rehearsal examines Los Santos as a corollary to Palestine.
