Culture

The Omani Al-Din Theater for Culture and Art Group performed its first theatrical shows in Damascus on February 27 and 28, signaling the return of Arab theatrical shows to the Syrian stages after years of hiatus.

The show, titled “Louqmat Aysh” (For A living), was held by the ministries of culture and tourism and the Directorate of Theaters and Music. It talks about several issues that concern citizens in Arab societies, particularly their daily quest for a livelihood. The show made the audience laughs repeatedly, confirming that its message was delivered properly.

The play, prepared and directed by Mohammad bin Saeed Al-Rawahi and written by the Bahrainin writer Jamal Al-Saqer, sheds light on social issues, including marriage, salaries, high prices and several social media-circulated issues in a swift innovative comic way.

 The show is an opportunity to enhance Arab cultural cooperation and to exchange ideas, cultures and experiences, according to Minister of Culture Lubana Mushaweh.

Mushaweh stressed the ministry’s keenness on encouraging the Syrian theatrical groups to participate in Arab festivals and on hosting distinguished and creative Arab theatrical bands.

Head of the Omani Al-Din Theater for Culture and Art Group Mohammad bin Salem Al-Nabhani expressed his happiness over visiting Syria for the first time after the war waged on the country, clarifying that the show presents soft criticism of the reality that hinders development in any society within the framework of the theater’s message of spreading love, peace and openness to different cultures.

He pointed out that Syria is a country of art and beauty, not a country of war and that the Syrian theater stages will continue to be leading platforms for boosting and spreading Arab theatrical works.  

Ahmad bin Saeed Al-Rawahi, one of the actors in the group, said “I can’t describe how beautiful my feeling is. The audience’s interaction with the show was great”.
