"Nowhere" Post-Show Talk: The Space of Confinement

  • Battersea Arts Centre Lavender Hill London, England, SW11 United Kingdom (map)

We’re proud to be partnering with Fuel Theatre and Khalid Abdalla to present to two post-show conversations reflecting on new work, Nowhere.

On October 11th join us for a conversation about “The Space of Confinement” with Khalid Abdalla, Sanaa Seif and Yasmin El-Rifae.

Nowhere is an immersive work by actor and activist Khalid Abdalla. Born out of Egypt's political landscape, the show explores the profound influence of history and current events on the narratives we create and the very act of art-making. How does the weight of history shape our artistic expression? What role does art play in times of upheaval? Commissioned and produced by Fuel, Nowhere invites you to journey into the hidden spaces behind closed doors, prompting reflection and dialogue

Join us for an intimate conversation on the use of confinement as a tool of repression against government critics, drawing on the lived experiences of "prisoners of conscience" in Egypt and across the Arab world.

This is the first in a series of post-show conversations curated by Khalid Abdalla in collaboration with Palestine Festival of Literature. The second will be on October 17th.
