OUIFAQ LAISSAOUI - Agadir, Morocco
What are you presently doing and what is your goal?
I am in my final graduation year in international trade at the School of Management in Agadir and my dream is an international career in the UN!
What does acting mean to you?
I joined the theatre club of the university five years ago. It gives me the opportunity to live my passion for acting within the frame of my academic education. But having a career in arts and making a living is hard in Morocco.
What fulfills you most?
Meeting new people, getting to know new cultures. This is my first time out of Morocco! I think I have an openness in my head that helps me embrace new cultures without feeling strange.
Another thing that fulfills me is working with kids.
Who had/has the biggest influence in your life?
My great grand father! I spent long weekends with him growing up and what I learned from him is still valid in my life today. He taught me to be open-minded.
And my parents, I love them so much, they are very straight-forward and firm, and especially my mother has a very positive energy.
What makes you angry?
I don't like if people interfere in other peoples lives, if people don't respect choices other than their own or different cultures
What makes you happy?
Being able to be here!
What gives you strength?
Faith
Your life motto?
You shall live as if you lived forever, and you must live as if you'll die tomorrow
Your role model?
Our prophet Muhammad
OUIFAQ LAISSAOUI visited Hannover in May 2012 to take part in the THEATER TREFFEN ARABISCHER FRÜHLING (Arabian Spring Theater Meeting) as a member of the theater club of the SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT in Agadir.
For one week the PAVILLON and its THEATERWERKSTATT became the center of a microcosmic Arabian world with 50 actors from 5 different Arabian nations who shared with the German audience their personal impressions and experiences with the changes in their countries through impressive and very different plays.
