Karim, an early-career artist at interCulture, has garnered significant attention from renowned theatre critic and blogger Kevin Jackson. Jackson praised Karim's "twinkle-eyed, twinkle-toed magnetism" in The Voices Project feature shows, highlighting his charismatic potential, which is only rivaled by his raw and observant vignettes that capture the gritty, everyday reality.
As one of the standout performers in an Australian Theatre for Young People (AYTP) monologue, Karim philosophizes about the themes of belonging, identity, and place with a refreshing, cheerful, and energetic approach. His performance is a paradoxical blend of urbaneness and panache.
Beyond his passion for theatre, Karim is a dedicated musician who has honed his skills on the piano, showcasing his signature piece "River Flows in You" with aplomb and technical deftness.
Through interCulture's iCCAM program, Karim has made his commercial debut in the Egyptian swashbuckling mystical fantasy/adventure "Gods of Egypt," starring alongside Hollywood and local mainstays Gerard Butler, Geoffrey Rush, and director Alex Proyas.
Most recently, Karim was cast as Bilal Folouk in the SBS four-part drama miniseries about the lives of difficult and troubled students in Sydney's south-west, working closely with Alex Dimitriades. With these exciting projects under his belt, Karim's future is full of promising opportunities.
