Witness an extraordinary collaboration as Georges Khabbaz and Adel Karam, two of Lebanon’s most celebrated artists, unite on the iconic stage of Dubai Opera for the gripping theatrical masterpiece, “Khyel Sahra.” 🌙✨
Blending drama, comedy, nostalgia, and historical reflection, this 80-minute Arabic-language performance delves into the absurdity and humanity of war. Set during the Lebanese Civil War of 1976, the play follows two enemy snipers who, during a ceasefire, form an unexpected friendship. As they share coffee, memories, and their fears, their bond reveals the deep emotional scars of conflict — offering audiences a profound exploration of empathy, loss, and survival. 💔☕
“Khyel Sahra,” derived from Lebanese slang meaning “someone disregarded or marginalized,” captures the soul of Lebanon’s theatre revival. This milestone collaboration between Khabbaz — a pioneer of contemporary Lebanese theatre — and Karam — a versatile actor known for his powerful performances — stands as a testament to art’s ability to heal and connect. 🌿🇱🇧
Presented by Star System and Pipeline, this moving production is more than a performance — it’s a reflection of shared humanity that transcends borders and time.
