About

In the performance Jihad an Nafs (the battle of the soul) we follow the development of Moesa. He grows up with an abusive father and an emotionally absent mother. Moesa doesn’t know what to do with his emotions. Fear. Sadness. Pain. Anger dominates. Anger towards his father, classmates who challenge him and anger towards the Western world. He confronts his demons.
