Every Brilliant Thing
Ahmed El Attar & Nanda Mohammad
Cairo - Damascus
Every Brilliant Thing is an interactive theatrical experience that celebrates the small joys of life.
Written by Duncan Macmillan, who has become an international reference for his tender, funny, and moving perspective on mental health and resilience, the artistic work now takes on a new dimension. Adapted and directed by Ahmed El Attar, it is anchored in an Arabic translation that opens the way to a dialogue between cultures, making a European text resonate with Arabic-speaking audiences.
In a stripped-down scenography, actress Nanda Mohammed weaves with the spectators a direct and fragile link. In this project, everyone is invited to enter the story and to become part of the narrative. Each representation then becomes unique, shaped by the presence of bodies and voices that pass through it. More than a show, Every Brilliant Thing is an invitation to share the luminous beauty of simple things.
