Nasser returned to Jordan in 2008 after studying psychology and theater in the US. Through her plays and other activities, she promotes a rather narrow vision of women’s liberation that is limited sexual freedom.
Among her activities in Jordan, she facilitates workshops and organizes “Journeys to Jordan,” where she takes tourists on spiritual excursions to ancient sites and nature reserves.
Her theatrical works such as “Red Bag” and “Arab Women Talking,” are minimalist events that rely almost completely on the “art of talking,” in which she repeats pre-packaged expressions about sexual repression and discrimination against women.
Her works tend to attribute all social ills to male domination, ignoring critical factors such as class struggle and the impact of occupation, perhaps in order not to alienate the European funders that underwrite most of her work.
Having failed to cause much of a stir in her previous works, Nasser is now undertaking a new project called “Connecting Daughter” in cooperation with women from Israel, Holland, and Palestine.
