CAIRO – 20 August 2017: The Ghareeb dance performance will be performed at Darb 1718 on August 26.
Directed by Shao Chen Yu, Ghareeb tackles the inner feelings of people who feel isolated at home.
Depression, isolation and anxiety are different forms of being a stranger in your homeland.
The show was successfully performed in Taiwan, and Chen aims to bring the Egyptian society to life on stage.
He listened to many Egyptian stories, spoke with Egyptian people, and tried to explore the Egyptian mentality.
Through the upcoming performance, Chen Yu will cooperate with Egyptian actors Osama Khlil, and Mario Salib.
The show needed three years to be completed because Chen Yu wanted to reflect the feelings of the society especially the youth.
“Midan El Tahrer” was the first show directed by Chen Yu tackling the Egyptian society.
Combining contemporary dance with theatrical performance is a remarkable sign of his abilities.
