Some of Naimi's theatrical innovations have been influential with others.[22] There are similarities between the theatre of Naimi and that produced by two men of Algerian theatre—Kateb Yacine, a playwright[23] and director,[3] and Abdelkader Alloula—in terms of collective creation,[24] circular space,[25] experimentation,[26] variety of audiences and places of presentations,[27] audience participation,[28] decor and suggestion,[29] body, voice, and mind,[30] self-management, research, training,[31] and the importance of Bertolt Brecht and Erwin Piscator.[32]
