Nowhere
An anti-biography 
Written and performed by Khalid Abdalla  
Directed by Omar Elerian

“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, acclaimed actor and activist Khalid Abdalla (The Day of the Jackal, The Crown, The Kite Runner) takes us on a surprising journey through his own life against a cartography of seismic world events.

Inspired by his involvement in the Egyptian revolution of 2011 and his experience of the counter-revolution that followed, Nowhere brings together the personal and the political in an act of anti-biography. Tracing a path from the histories of colonialism and decolonisation; friendship and loss; protests and uprisings; to the ongoing violence in Gaza following the events of October 7th 2023, with urgency and insight, Abdalla asks how did we get here, and how can we find agency amidst the mazes of history. As declared by Broadway World, “It’s impossible not to take note and listen.” 

This work contains distressing scenes, references to death, haze, flashing lights and loud music.
Age suitability: 14+
