Since the National Theatre building was completely destroyed in the fighting, this company currently has a small office in the National Art Gallery. Its members rehearse and perform in the Radio Afghanistan Theatre. The Group staged 15 performances in 2002. Over the past year the Goethe-Institut has sent a visiting artist from Hamburg as well as documentary filmmakers to assist them to film rehearsals and performances. The Norwegian Afghan Committee has given them funds for touring and in the spring of 2003 arranged fundraising performances in Oslo and Bergen attended by performers from Afghanistan. Two members of the Norwegian theatre will in exchange spend one month in Kabul.
