Current:
On the sound waves, playing the role of “Thaat al-Dawahi” in the the 9th season of 1001 Nights with Sowt. You won’t be able to tell it’s me. Love playing characters – especially the evil ones.
Meanwhile-
I’m giving creative writing workshops at the Women’s Prison in the Netherlands, twice a week, with Blocknotes Foundation. It’s in Dutch, which always makes me feel like an imposter in spite of having published a book in this foreign language I do not master. The ladies don’t seem to judge my limitation – communication feels honest behind bars – cuts through the crap. Might say more about this, but for now, working on what’s coming up:
Coming up:
Zaytoun: The whore of Canaan

From within the darkness
A short play about a solar paradise that’s running out of battery, and a battery dump that’s running out of oxygen. About the overload of misinformation and our insatiable hunger for energy that has depleted the sun. And about the one voice being joined by the many, from within the darkness, calling the sun back with our song. (LanaNasser, 2003)
The play has been performed during Climate Change Theatre Action Festival 2023. More info @ClimateChangeTheaterAction

Book
Shabby and the essence of the rainbow
In my ideal reality, I am always barefoot, hands in the soil, listening to the stories that the trees tell, to the songs of the bees. Fable writing is a great passion of mine. It almost feels like cheating – for everything wants to tell its story, if only we listen. My first book (in dutch) was a fable, published – unlucky@ 2020 shutdown. The book is alive and well however, with wonderful drawings by Isabella al-Hasan. More about it the book here (In Dutch) Shabby en het wezen van de regenboog.
