The Khayaal Theatre Company
Overview
The Khayaal Theatre Company is a UK-based nonprofit organisation known for its work in promoting cross-cultural theatre and exploring Muslim heritage and interfaith literature. The company has established itself as a leading producer of professional English-language theatre inspired by Muslim cultures and traditions.
Activities and Mission
Khayaal's principal activities include producing theatre, storytelling, film, and theatre-in-education programs. These productions are inspired by millenniums-old Muslim theatre traditions, such as Wayang Kulit, Tazieh, Karagöz, Griot, and Khayaal Al-Zill—a form of shadow theatre that originated in Egypt during the 10th century[1][3]. The company aims to bring together artists and audiences from diverse backgrounds to foster greater intercultural and interfaith dialogue and understanding.
History and Impact
Over the past 27 years, Khayaal has developed a strong reputation for its innovative cross-cultural theatre productions, which blend wisdom and humor. This approach has earned the company both popular and critical acclaim nationally and internationally[2]. Khayaal's efforts have been recognized with multiple awards, reflecting its success in promoting cultural exchange and understanding through storytelling.
Contributions to Theatre
The Khayaal Theatre Company has played a significant role in developing a new genre and brand of cross-cultural theatre that draws upon diverse Muslim heritages. By sharing stories from global Islamic traditions, Khayaal has contributed to a richer cultural landscape in the UK and beyond[5].
Purpose
Khayaal's mission is rooted in harnessing the power of shared stories to connect communities and foster greater interfaith understanding and engagement. Through its productions, the company seeks to create inclusive and engaging experiences that resonate with audiences from various backgrounds[2].
