RISING: Nowhere tickets
About RISING: Nowhere
Actor Khalid Abdalla (from Netflix’s The Crown) brings his playful and personal one-man play to RISING.
An impassioned plea for peace, Nowhere is an anti-biography. A show that asks how we got here, and how we find agency inside the mazes of history. Abdalla shares his experience of the Egyptian revolution and counter-revolution, histories of colonialism and decolonisation. Plus, personal reflections on friendship, loss, and Gaza.
