The Match is a contemporary retelling of the Oedipus story told through solitude, revolution, and soccer.
Moussa is a disillusioned ex-trade unionist, returning from prison. His son Ali spends all of his time on the Internet. A battle of words, and silence, ensues while the national soccer team plays a historic match.
Presented in partnership with the Middle East and North African Studies Program and the Center for the Writing Arts at Northwestern University
Also performed in the Hal and Martha Hyer Wallis Theater, Wirtz Center, Northwestern University
