Interrobang Theatre Project is casting 3 versatile South-Asian or Middle-Eastern/Arab actors, ages 25-35 for our second show of season 9, I Call My Brothers by By Jonas Hassen Khemiri, Translated by Rachel Willson-Broyles, Directed by Abhi Shrestha.
Stockholm, Sweden. A car bomb rocks the peaceful city, and leaves the Arab-Swedish Amor on guard and on edge. But he doesn't have time to let his fear get the best of him; he's got places to be. As Amor attempts to run his errand and grapple with his own anxieties, we follow him through a fraught 24 hours, cautiously navigating the city he calls home. Balancing paranoia and humor, Jonas Khemiri's nuanced account dares us to question our own perceptions and prejudices, while offering a singular and harrowing take on the labyrinth of global identity politics.
