$10 – $15
On Wednesday, January 15th, Gesa Power House Theatre presents the film Know Your Place.
Set against the rapidly changing landscape of Seattle, Know Your Place is a poignant slice-of-life drama following 15-year-old Robel Haile, an Eritrean-American boy, as he embarks on a seemingly simple errand that transforms into an emotional journey. Tasked with delivering a huge and heavy suitcase across town, destined for a sick family member in his parents ‘homeland’, Robel and his best friend Fahmi must navigate Seattle’s evolving streets while confronting themes of family responsibility, identity, and the dislocation caused by economic displacement.
The film explores the essence of home—what it means to a young boy at a time of personal transition and to a city undergoing significant redevelopment. Director Zia Mohajerjasbi captures Seattle’s beauty and reflects on the dissolution of communities, making Know Your Place both a love letter and a lament for a hometown in flux.
Reserved seating tickets are available for $15 ($10 for students) either online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500.
