The Quiet Revolution: Grassroots Theatre and Solidarity in Post-Revolution Egypt
Yasmine Kandil
Research in Drama Education, v29 n3 p476-491 2024
This article looks at the meaning of solidarity as related to the Egyptian uprising of January 2011. Through participant interviews, field notes, and observations, the author examines the role of grassroots theatre in enabling the aspirations of the revolution to live on amongst its players, and despite more stringent state control over the arts and freedom of expression. The author examines how solidarity can take different forms through silence, witnessing, and embodied creative works.
