About this event
Two productions on two Rabat stages
The second day of the Jassad International Women Theatre Directors Festival pairs Morocco with Spain. On Wednesday 28 October 2026, the programme starts at 5.30pm at Al Mansour Theatre and continues at 8pm at Bahnini Hall. The two productions, two directors and two venues give the date the shape of a cultural itinerary.
Within a festival devoted to women’s directing practices, this double bill offers an opportunity to encounter work from different cultural settings. It also shows how the programme extends across Rabat rather than concentrating every performance in a single auditorium.
5.30pm: the Moroccan production جنازة الأزهار
Morocco’s جنازة الأزهار is scheduled for 5.30pm at Al Mansour Theatre, directed by إيمان جفري. The Arabic title and director’s name are retained as supplied in the programme, avoiding the substitution of an unconfirmed English title or transliteration for the official listing.
The available material establishes the production’s title, country, director, start time and venue. It does not include a detailed synopsis, cast list or running time. This daily page therefore focuses on the production’s place within the festival and on the information needed to attend, without assigning it a story or themes that have not been announced.
8pm: Spain’s Yo soy gente rara
At 8pm, Bahnini Hall presents Yo soy gente rara, the Spanish production directed by Loli Botello. The original title is preserved so that audiences can identify the same work across the festival’s listings and their own searches.
This evening performance contributes to Jassad’s international range, alongside Egyptian, Greek and French productions on other dates. A synopsis, cast and running time are not included in the supplied information. The production’s country of origin alone does not confirm its stage language or the availability of surtitles.
Planning the move between venues
The festival locates Al Mansour Theatre on Rue Al Baraka in Yacoub El Mansour, opposite the Al Horia tram stop. Bahnini Hall is at 1 Rue Gandhi, Rabat. Since the performances use different venues, travel time should form part of the evening’s planning.
There are two and a half hours between the advertised start times, but the first production’s running time is unknown. That interval does not guarantee that both performances can be attended. Check admission arrangements, prices, bookings, performance languages and any surtitles with the festival. The next day’s programme pairs Greece with France.
