As We Forgive?

“One man: two characters… an altar, revenge rituals… in a bleeding surreal reality… some attempts to darn a cracked moral system… and stumbling in a shattered world… To forgive, does that mean anything?” “As We Forgive?!” by Sawsan Darwaza, is a play that treats the moral system in this unstable world. This distorted moral system which does not address the difference between the will and the instinct, between the oppressor and the oppressed, between the malignant and the good, between the temple and the slaughterhouse, between love and exploitation. This moral system blinds us to the difference between the criminal and the crime, between tolerant forgiveness and vengeance, between a fixed and a volatile moral system. “As we forgive is a moral play in an amoral world”.
