Theatre of the Oppressed was introduced to Nasiriyah as a workshop for theatre artists in August 2016. The workshop was conducted by Dr. Yasser al-Barak, who trained the young theatre artists in Theatre of the Oppressed acting and improvisation techniques. The second experiment by Al-Barak involved adapting Saadallah Wannus’s The Elephant, O King of All Times (Al-fil ya Malak Azzaman) into a play titled A Predicament (WurTa), which addresses political, social, and religious oppression in Iraq. The audience reconceived the experiment with passion and enthusiasm. Some of them were not satisfied with suggestions only; they mounted the stage to replace the protagonist in an attempt to overcome his fear and face oppression with courage and decisiveness.
