This is how Nubian artists articulated their deep-rooted passion, longing, and love for theatre during the recent screening of “Tyatro al-Nubia تياترو نوبة”, a documentary produced by Nubian Geographic —a Nubian initiative dedicated to preserving the heritage, history, art, and languages of the Nubian people — in collaboration with the Tandem Amwaj Collective Routes. Even after years of displacement and the destruction of public spaces like the Abu Simbel community theater, the stories of these spaces still live in the hearts of every village, and every community. Another example is community theatres, and their crucial role in preserving the Nubian language and unique forms of expression, particularly the comedic Nubian approach to life and community challenges.
