Blue meets an Iraqi theatre student in Hyderabad.
I asked him “is there no kind of underground theatre movement in Iraq?? remembering that in times of crisis a nation often produced some of its most interesting and provocative art and theatre.
No, he explained. It was too dangerous. Any time a person left his or her home to go anywhere there was great risk of death from bomb or bullet, so people only left when absolutely necessary. They went to work and went straight back as quickly as they could. No one wanted to risk traveling to theatre rehearsals.
