CAIRO – 1 December 2021: The House of Culture and Science, known as Al-Sennari House, will organize a poetry and lyrical evening open to the public under the title “The Visible Side of Heaven” on December 2 at 7 p.m.

 

 

 

 

The evening includes a group of sessions that combine vernacular poetry and singing. Excerpts from famed poems and a group of songs stemming from the Egyptian heritage will be presented.

 

 

 

 

This comes within the framework of the efforts to spread awareness, and culture  through presenting purposeful arts and introducing the colloquial poetry’s history and importance in the life of the individual and society. This is in addition to encouraging youth to benefit from their talents.

 

 

 

 

Al-Sennari House is one of the finest examples of the residential buildings of princes and statesmen in Islamic Cairo.

 

 

 

 

The house is of special historical importance, as its history is also linked to the French campaign against Egypt 1798-1801 AD. A number of members of the Science and Arts Committee within the campaign resided there, mostly painters and engineers.
