Tarik Al-Ali Tala' Fashoush retires... from theater seats!

As expected, Tariq Al-Ali settled the controversy surrounding the truth of his retirement after he posted the full video on his Instagram account. In the remaining part of the clip, he clarified that he had not announced his retirement from art, but rather that his comments were related to the “chairs,” which were not comfortable, in a humorous reference to the circumstances surrounding some of his previous works. He said, “You believed I was retiring. My retirement was from the old chairs, which were somewhat uncomfortable. Now there are new chairs, and I continue to give to you. I’m sitting, sitting, not retiring.”

“Bomohammed” had been a subject of controversy in recent hours after social media users circulated a video in which he appeared to announce his final retirement from art and acting, addressing his audience with emotional words. The mysterious video sparked reactions from a large number of artists and celebrities, including Abdulrahman Al-Aqil, Shahab Hajja, Fahd Al-Banna, Mohammed Al-Sayer, and others. The video had confused the public, especially since it was not posted on Tariq Al-Ali’s official social media pages, leading some to believe the retirement news, while others suspected it was merely a promotional stunt for a new artistic project intended to draw attention to him.

Tariq Al-Ali’s clarification coincides with the ongoing performances of his new play, “The Maestro,” which stars him alongside Shaaban Hussein, Shaima Ali, Ismail Surour, Mohammed Ashour, Saeed Al-Mulla, Khaled Busakher, Nora Al-Alf, Saad Al-Mutairi, Sultan Al-Ali, Shouq, and Mohammed Al-Wazir. The play is written by Issa Ahmed and directed by Khaled Busakher.
