As-Suwayda-Sana
Today, the branch of the Arab Writers Union in As-Suwayda hosted an experiment, the first of its kind, by presenting a poetic theatrical painting entitled “The Tenth Cup” written and directed by the artist Mashhour Khaizran.
The painting represents a dialogue drama from the popular poetic theater that takes place in a local environment in the countryside of As-Suwayda Governorate and simulates societal and national concerns.
The author and director of the work, and he is the head of the People’s Theater Association in the branch of the Artists Syndicate in the southern region, noted in his speech the union’s initiative to host and hold such activities, even though the theater has its own rituals and traditions from the time of the evening show to the elements of lighting, music and other effects that help deliver the action to the recipient.
Khaizran saw that he threw himself into a new experience in the virtual contemporary Syrian theater and did not know to what extent this type of poetic theater in the spoken dialect would reach the recipient or interact with him, especially since he had deviated to the Brecht educational in the epic school in which he was a student and exaggerated the defeat of the negativity in his characters, trying through The text and directing the representative performance to let the recipient follow the actions in a neutral and critical spirit and to take a position on the negativity that he sees in the behavior of the characters of the painting.
Head of the Arab Writers Union branch in As-Suwayda, writer Wejdan Abu Mahmoud pointed out that it is the first time that a theatrical show has been performed in the union, on the occasion of the launch of the Youth Cultural Club in the governorate, which aims to attract cultural elites and young talents and support them, pointing out that most of the representatives of the theatrical painting are talented young people. .
Jiraz Abu Saad, Abeer Al-Hassan, Rawan Abu Sarhan, and Raghad Darwish participated in the representation of this painting, in addition to the famous Khaizran.
On the sidelines of the event, which was attended by a crowd of writers, intellectuals, playwrights and young talents, the two young men, Siraj Brik and Majd Al-Aws, recited two poems saluting the spirit of the late Iraqi poet Muzaffar Al-Nawab.
