All the Important Issues is a series of idiotic lectures. I perform a manic character of my own invention: Mr. Mokhtar (literally translates to English as ‘the chosen one’) — a self-proclaimed activist of great importance who has urgent messages to deliver to an audience that exists only in his imagination. Mr. Mokhtar is an alter ego: a figure born from a genuine desire to shake things up, filtered through absurdity, despair, and relentless self-importance.
