Goats by Liwaa Yazji
26 - 30 November, 7.30 pm
"Goats" is set in a small Syrian town brainwashed by ongoing propaganda to fight a civil war. Martyrs are considered heroes in the eyes of many, and grieving families are given goats as part of the local party leader, Abu Al Tayyib's compensation scheme.
Revisit "Goats" seven years after it premiered in London, but this time through a reimagining of the characters and the space.
Ram Noureddine's play adaptation tackles the absurdity of war and the hypocrisy that follows corruption. We will be introduced again to the original story through the martyr's father, Abu Firas, and his journey to seek the truth about his son. This production focuses on the idea that war is indistinctive for people's culture, ethnicity and race, portrayed by the diverse cast members.
"War can reach anyone and everyone." - Ram Noureddine, Adaptor and Director.
