Abstract
Through ethnographic fieldwork with two street theater troupes in Cairo, this article explores the roles of performance and theater in revolutionary Egypt. By describing interactive street theater through two specific groups—Outa Hamra and Khayal Shaaby—I show the potential for nonpolitical forms of activism to be used as a mechanism to illuminate aspects of social change.
