Description
“Welcome to Nowhere.
Nowhere by Khalid Abdalla
“Welcome to Nowhere.
I’m going to share with you how I got here
And what ‘here’ actually means to me”.
In this intricate and playful solo show, inspired by his involvement in the Egyptian revolution of 2011, and his experience of the counter-revolution that followed, actor and activist Khalid Abdalla (United 93, The Kite Runner, The Crown) takes us on a surprising journey into his own history, set against a cartography of seismic world events.
From the histories of colonialism and decolonisation; friendship and loss; protests and uprising against regimes across the world; to the violence in Gaza following the events of October 7th 2023, Khalid brings together the personal and the political in an act of anti-biography that asks how we got here and how we find agency amidst the mazes of history.
Commissioned and produced by Fuel. Supported by Arts Council England and CVC.
“an audacious and radical message for peace.”
The Guardian
★★★★“Abdalla has created something tremendously powerful. He captivates, stimulates and encourages reflection as within, so without. This is a triumph of theatre, but more importantly, it is an urgent call for the defence of humanity awaiting a cry back. The question is: are we ready for change?”
