Moroccan Theatre:

More about the book

Exploring the rich heritage of Arabic theatre, the book highlights Khayal zill as a significant form, akin to TV theatre, while emphasizing Lbsat as a prime example of Moroccan theatricality. Drawing parallels to Comedia Del Arte, Lbsat features fixed characters and the use of masks, which aid performers in overcoming shyness during improvisations before royalty. The text advocates for a broader understanding of theatre, arguing that traditional forms should be recognized as independent theatricalities deserving of study and formalization.
