Live theatre returns to Yemen's capital for the first time since 2015

Live theatre has returned to Sanaa for the first time since 2015, offering Yemenis a rare opportunity to experience performance arts after years of conflict. A five-day programme — seen as a trial run — is drawing families to a once-abandoned venue, with audiences responding to a comedy exploring the pressures of social media fame. Performers and organisers say the initiative carries a broader message: that cultural life can be rebuilt even amid war, and that the demand for normalcy endures.

Al Jazeera's Yousef Mawry reports from Sanaa, Yemen.
