Ajeel Darnah Theater Group Causes Crisis in Libya's Cultural Scene
The decision by the General Authority for Horse Racing, Theater, and Arts to dissolve the Ajlal Theater and Arts Troupe in Derna sparked widespread controversy within the Libyan cultural community. Artists and writers regarded this as more than an administrative measure, viewing it as a threat to the future of civil society groups and a blow to independent cultural activity. The crisis intensified after artists called for the cancellation of the decision and the dismissal of the Authority's head, Mohamed Al-Bayoudi, accusing him of implementing restrictive policies and turning the cultural institution into a tool of guardianship. Supporters of the troupe argue that its dissolution endangers the history of the theatrical movement in the city, which is considered the cradle of the Libyan theatrical scene, and reflects broader concerns about the decline of independent cultural spaces in Libya.
