Rising voice Ismael Loutfi joins us at The Roundtable to talk about his powerful new work Heavenly Baba—a piece that blends spirituality, identity, and storytelling into something truly unique. Known for his distinct artistic voice and commitment to honest, layered narratives, Loutfi is carving out space for stories that challenge, heal, and connect audiences in meaningful ways. Heavenly Baba invites viewers into a deeply personal journey that explores faith, culture, and the complexities of belonging.

In this conversation, we dive into the inspiration behind the piece, what it means to create work rooted in truth, and how theatre can be both a mirror and a form of transformation. Loutfi shares his process, the emotional weight behind the story, and why projects like Heavenly Baba are so important right now. It’s thoughtful, it’s moving, and it’s exactly the kind of art that stays with you long after the curtain call.
