Australian Premiere

“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 7th October 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. 


“Exquisitely beautiful, perfectly observed.”

THE STAGE


“An audacious and radical message for peace.”
