Sabaa w 7

Sabaa w 7 is a tale. Seven and Seven, is the number of days it takes the moon to move half its trajectory across the sky. One night the moon breaks and disappears, planting terror throughout the village. While storytelling will be based on the Hakawati technique, staging will depend on another tradition, the shadow theatre. A mobile carousel of lights and shadows are assembled into a giant mobile in order to gather the scattered lunar pieces. Together, we shall embark on this journey led by Nadine Touma, storyteller and author of this modern tale who will take us to the village pond, to Philomena's shop and to Bou Sleiman's orchard introducing us to the different protagonists who will unite in an attempt to allow a new ascension of the moon in seven and seven new nights hoping once again to be able to tell stories.
