The staging of shows was patterned after the traditional Algerian rite of Halqa (Arabic: حلقة‎),[1] with a central acting space in the round (1 in the drawing), entry and exit aisles for the actors (2), and the rest of the encircling space reserved for spectators(3). The works were presented in rural areas, to farmers who had never seen this kind of show.[13] The public was urged to attend rehearsals and voice observations, and to interact during the performance, to be an integral part of the action [14]
