- - Activist and director Zeina Daccache finds herself, after 13 years of voluntary imprisonment in Lebanese prisons (where she conducted drama therapy workshops, created theater performances with the prisoners and amended some unjust laws against them), in a moment of existential questioning with Joseph, a former prisoner who spent 30 years behind bars and worked closely with her during her time in prison.
The years away from what we deem as “normal life,” combined with the crushing weight and burden of economic, political, and social crises, have left them feeling out of place. Both feel trapped (this time, in a different kind of prison) as they seek to turn the page on past events and face more contemporary changes that shape their existence in a country and region marked by an uninterrupted succession of conflicts and war.
They are accompanied by Sam Ghazal, the young Lebanese stand-up comedian, whose humor and honest observations add refreshing perspectives to their journey.
The play is a blend of comedy and drama, it dives into themes of grief, finding closure from the past, motherhood and family crises, and dealing with a confusing and uncertain future. We smile at the friendships formed between different generations and backgrounds. By sharing their personal stories, the characters seek meaning in a chaotic world, inviting the audience to join them on an inspiring journey filled with hope.
