the first

2019- world premiere

The First by hassan abdulazzarak is an immersive one-woman show.

Ash dreams of becoming an astronaut, but her feet remain firmly on the ground as she fills your car with petrol.

While you wait for the petrol tank to fill, Ash shares her dreams and waits for a call that could change her life.

The First is a short, site-specific show produced by Sharjah Performing Arts Academy (SPAA), which invites you and up to three friends to take a seat in the car and be immersed in this ambitious, one-woman production.
