Hasan Zafara became the Laser Man's eleventh victim, and his son's theater monologue about him will have its premiere on the Kulturhuset Stadsteatern stage in the Stockholm suburb of Husby on February 21, according to Sveriges Radio, P4 Stockholm.

The son was six years old when his father was shot. Hasan Zafara miraculously survived but is now in a wheelchair and lost his speech. Now the son is making his debut on the theater scene in a play that is described as an attempt to understand who his father was before he was shot.

My dad is more than just a victim, the truth is that he is a survivor, an inspiration, a former entrepreneur, entrepreneur, and father of seven who worked from morning to evening. That's also the image I want to convey, says Mustafa Zatara to P4.

The Laser Man, John Ausonius, has previously been portrayed in both film and theater. He was called the Laser Man after the laser sight he used when he shot a total of eleven people in Sweden during the early 1990s. One person died and ten survived, and what they all had in common was that they had dark hair or dark skin.
