Fazil Jaf, a distinguished Kurdish actor, will lead a workshop at the prestigious International Festival of Carthage in Tunisia, set to run from November 23 to 30. Known for its influential role in the region’s cultural landscape, the festival’s 25th edition will bring together an array of theater professionals from around the world for a series of workshops, performances, and collaborative events.
