In his 2010 work "...And Counting" Bilal had his back tattooed with a map of Iraq and dots representing casualties. For 2007's "Domestic Tension", Bilal spent a month in a gallery with a paintball gun that people could shoot at him over the internet - a statement on the Iraq war.

Playwriting: The Personal and the Political “To embrace hope is a challenge, of course, in a world plagued by violence and pain. However, that is what theater is for me: a valuable art form that can help make political, living change and can build community. Theater can allow audiences to become witnesses, and through this communal act of witnessing, there can be re-imagination and even revolution.” - Catherine Filloux
