قريب من هون Close to Here 2017 / Theatre Play / 60 ' / in Arabic written and directed by Roy Dib Commissioned by Sharjah Art Foundation - SB13, 2017 With: Julia Kassar, Lina Sahhab, Sandy Chamoun Musicians: Liliane Chlela, Fouad Afra, Bashar Farran Sound Engineer: Sana Romanos Light Design: Ricardo Clementi Julia's Costume Design: Krikor Jabotian Poster Design: Maria Kassab This play is happening in a city close to here. One that only knew times of peace as exceptions. One where most people go to war and only few come back. Some die. Others disappear. This play is happening in a city whose people cannot bury their beloved, cannot cry for them. A city whose people cannot end their grief. A city whose people are women, men and children who have not gone to war, but have been forced to live with the fact that their loved ones have. To survive, the people of this city rehearse the funerals of their loved ones, a tradition that takes place the night before their departure to battle. This play is trapped in a story of a city captivated by the infinite melancholy of its own people. |
