CAIRO – 6 May 2018: “Youm An Katalo el Ghena” (The Day They Killed Singing) play will be presented at Talea Theater until May 13, although it was scheduled to end this week.

The play presents the struggle between two brothers in their quest for the cause of existence and the mystery of the universe. It examines the conflict between the spirit of tolerance and love on the one hand, with fanaticism and hatred on the other hand.

The show is written by Mahmoud Gamal and directed by Tamer Karam, and it stars Alaa Quqa, Yasser Sadek, Hamada Shousha, Tarek Sabri, Mohamed Nasser and Hind Abdel Halim. “The Day They Killed Singing” opened on March 30, 2017, and was awarded the first-place prize at the 10th edition of the National Festival of Egyptian Theater.

“Youm An Katalo el Ghena” is one of the most unique and varied plays that continues to prove successful for the second consecutive year. Prominent theatrical critics Azza Heikal, Ahmed Khamis, Yasmine Farrag and Rana Abdel Kawy chose it to be one of the best four plays in 2017.
