Play 'Ascending to the Abyss' Concludes Tour in Shfaram

Translated & summarized from Al-Shams by baba
The story · English

The Horizon Theater in Shfaram will host the final performance of the play "Ascending to the Abyss" on Friday, September 25th. The play's tour began on September 2nd in Nazareth and included stops in Haifa, Jerusalem, Ramallah, and Acre.

"Ascending to the Abyss" is an Arabic adaptation of Sam Shepard's play "True West," translated, adapted, and directed by Mohammad Sleiman Haddad. It explores the strained relationship between two brothers who reunite after years apart, with their rivalry escalating into a conflict over a cinematic story and its production.

The cast features Bayan Haj, Milad Ghaleb Qneibi, and Suhad Khweiss. Fatima Khatib managed production. The play, approximately one hour and 15 minutes long, is intended for audiences aged 16 and above due to its themes of violence, alcohol, and family relationships.

The final showing is scheduled for 8:00 PM at the Horizon Theater in Shfaram, marking the end of the play's tour across multiple cities.
