There’s a scene that puts extraordinarily dramatically bare what the Taliban regime is and how easy it is, deep down, ridicule it if you have endless dignity and courage.
Show Afghan comedian Khasa Zwan as he is arrested and loaded into car by the Taliban. And he, with his hands cuffed behind his back, despite the slaps, doesn’t beg, asks for mercy, doesn’t kneel to his aguzzers. He does what he’s always done in every show, until the last instant: he mocks them, irritates them, makes fun of them, those death emissaries and a blind and fanatic power without scruples or irony.
They found him at the end of July in the countryside with his throat slit and the signs of torture. But, between the two, between him and the Taliban, he will always survive.
Khasa Zwan showed the world how a comedian dies: laughing in his murderers face.
He took away from the Taliban the greatest power they have: fear.
It’s like he said them: you can torture me, slaughter me, kill me, but you will never take away my power to make fun of you, my dignity, who I am.
If there is a symbol of resistance to the banality of evil, at every latitude, here it is.
