For the 2020-2021 academic year, the SUAD theatre group focuses on theatre related to the Arab world.

As segment 1 of 3 for this year's project, Protagoras Confined  is a translation and adaptation of Wajdi Mouawad's first published play, Willy Protagoras Enfermé Dans Les Toilettes, only available in French until now.

Rehearsals and filming online are set for January-February 2021. Aspiring performers around the globe are invited to join.

For U.A.E.-based actors, the group will also invite members of the community to take part in live performances for parts 2 & 3 if circumstances allow in the Spring 2021.
