The Guthrie Theater presents
Zafira and the Resistance
a New Arab American Theater Works production of
Zafira and the Resistance
by KATHRYN HADDAD
directed by MALEK NAJJAR and ZEINA SALAME
Overview
Arab. Middle Eastern. Muslim. These terms are thrown around in today’s news media, yet they continue to be equated with another set of words: Terrorist. War. Oppressive. This compelling play by Minnesota playwright Kathryn Haddad takes a critical look at Arab American identity, institutional racism, the generational struggles and fears of Arabs and Muslims and the possibility of collective punishment.
New Arab American Theater Works is a collective of Minnesota-based Arab, Arab American and Muslim theater artists. Their mission is to present new theater works that fill a local and national void of Arab American voices and provide opportunities for them to present their stories through theater.
