El Warsha Theatre Company

El Warsha is the first independent troupe in the free theater movement in Egypt. It started its journey in 1987 by 'Egyptianizing' Western plays; however, in the last few years the troupe has turned its attention to everyday life and to vernacular creativity as sources of inspiration. El Warsha has toured locally, within the Arab World and beyond since 1990. It offers ongoing training opportunities for young amateurs and would-be professionals and works towards the promotion of a space for self-expression, in close collaboration with local NGOs targeting education and development.
