During the evening, critic Al-Sir Al-Sayed gave a lecture entitled (Theater and Change… Theater and Life’s Questions), in which he talked about the emergence of theater in Sudan, its contemporaneity, and its openness to the theater trends that were created in the process of theater as an art with its own specificity.
The lecture discussed Sudanese theater’s approach to the topic of war, and touched on some Sudanese plays, such as “Mak Nimr,” “My Love Plant,” “Forced Conscription,” “Dementia,” “Ice Dream,” and “Kandaka Amani Rinas,” in addition to the experience of the Siha network in approaching stories.
