Kafir

Written and performed by Ryan Sero Animations by Nicholas Wallace

Everybody believes in something, something they are ten-fingers-ten-toes committed to. For Kelly, a satirical cartoonist who likes to push buttons, that’s everything The Enlightenment gave to civilization: free expression and a right to offend. Of course, some other people believe that he has just blasphemed with his cartoons and now he deserves to die. This story is an echo of stories all around us today, stories where thoughts and ideas and beliefs are under attack from all sides, and where our last line of defence are people who draw funny little comic strips in magazines.

Kafir was developed as part of Theatre Aquarius’ program for performer/creators – The Junction.
