The performance is set in a symbolic square, where Egyptians have come together for thousands of years, and showcases our diverse and complex cultural mosaic. On stage, you will catch a glimpse of the essential components that inform our rich diversity, such as: Coptic, Islamic, Sufi and Nubian traditions. Weaving history, modernity, social commentary, fable, songs and verse, we present you with an artful expression of Egypt in its irreducible totality.
Come travel with us through time as we explore the multi-faceted Egyptian identity. The festivities await you!
The performance is based on the Arabic script written by Mohamed Maaty, interwoven with some of Yahia Lababidi’s English poetry, Egyptian songs written and composed by Ehaab Abdou, as well as Coptic hymns, Islamic Sufi chanting, Nubian songs and more.. performed by a wonderful group of amateur and professional actors, musicians and singers…
