In Baghdad, the creations of stage director Anas Abdul Samad – previously unseen in the West – enhance the violence experienced in a city plagued by wars, through aesthetics without words which is inspired by visual arts, mime or puppets.
With Yes Godot, he revisits Beckett’s play turning Baghdad into the meeting point of the characters. Vladimir, Estragon and Lucky rise up against their creator in a choreographed violence which distances us from the brutal reality while underlining human loneliness in the rumbustious world.
His work conveys the fears and emotions of his people through gestures and signs. His creativity makes him one of the major artists in Iraq.

The programming of Yes Godot in Marseille is part of a tour in France initiated by La Filature, Scène nationale (Mulhouse) in partnership with CDN in Besançon Franche-Comté, CDN in Orléans, Théâtre Cinéma Paul Éluard in Choisy-le-Roi, subsidized theatre for linguistic diversity and Parallèle - Platform for young international creation.

 These partners went into partnership to offer the artist Anas Abdulsamad primary visibility in Europe.
