The film of Peaceophobia was created by Jack King and filmed over a series of performances in Bradford at Oastler Market Car Park in September 2021.

If ‘Islam’ comes from ‘peace’, how can you fear peace? 

Peaceophobia is an unapologetic response to rising Islamophobia around the world. Part car-show, part-theatre, the show asks how do you find peace in a world that tells you who you are? 

Growing up in the shadow of the Bradford Riots, 9/11 and police harrassment, cars and faith are a sanctuary, an escape, an expression for three Muslim Pakistani men. Ali, Sohail and Casper are taking control of the narratives around their religion, their city, and their cars. 

Staged in a car-park with a Supra, a Golf and a classic Nova, Peaceophobia brings together cars and theatre with cinematic lighting and an electronic sound score.  

Co-directed by young women from Speakers Corner, a political, social collective based in Bradford and award winning theatre company Common Wealth, co-written by acclaimed playwright Zia Ahmed and Bradford Modified Club, a co-production with Fuel.
