In this elaborate agitprop theatrical collaboration, the internal contradictions and duplicitous double—speak of the “war on terror” are exposed as the propaganda vehicles for the neo—colonialism of the West that they are. “Ali Hakim” and “Ali Ababwa,” refugees from the imaginary country “Agraba,” attempt to seduce their audience into providing them with food, refuge, security, freedom and the material benefits of Western consumer society, failing miserably at every step. A hard—hitting presentation of a play—within—a—play assaults the audience as Youssef, Verdecchia and Chai do Shakespeare, Shaw and Swift one better with an endless string of buffooneries and absurdities derived from an inversion of the clichés defining the geo—politics of the Middle East at the beginning of the 21st century.Informed by the research of Paul Krugman and Noam Chomsky, sent up by the post—modern cultural relativism of “Jean Paul Jacques Beauderrièredada,” this political satire is not for the faint of heart.Cast of 4 men.
