He landed the role of Yassine in a play in which a youth falls in love with a girl. One day, when they were supposed to meet, he didn’t show up and gave no news. His friends got worried about his fate. “Some may think that he abandoned his sweetheart for another, others speculate that events outside of his control prevented him from coming, which leads the audience to wonder”, explains Aymen. “We performed multiple sketches within the play, to guide the audience in their thinking. For example, we acted out a sketch in which Yassine turns up as a suicide jihadist who carries out an attack - that’s why he never returns. In another sketch Yassine is a good person, far from extremist indoctrination. At last, he appears in a video at the end of the play that shows that Yassine is an undocumented immigrant who couldn’t get the right papers, which is why he couldn’t return to his beloved”, emphasises Aymen. “It’s a theatrical approach that touches people by combining social issues and sentimentality”, he explains.
