In the presence of President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi and First Lady Entissar Amer, the inaugural international performance of the World Youth Theater kicks off today with the play ‘We Were One,’ during the fourth edition of the World Youth Forum (WYF).
The play was led by the great Egyptian director Khaled Galal, with the participation of a team of young Egyptian artists, including students and graduates of the Artistic Creativity Center and various universities, as well as multinational artists from the USA, Sweden, Russia, Brazil, Tunisia, Morocco, Malawi, Tajikistan, Portugal, Serbia, Peru, Indonesia, and Yemen.
The plot of the theatrical performance reflects the state of humanity where successive events and wars have distorted the peace-loving human instinct, and in the face of the “unknown”, which represents a global challenge, the actors and makers of the play ask the question: “Will humanity triumph over global differences and conflicts?”
Over the past two weeks, the preparatory workshops continued for the final show. The team was getting ready to deliver a heartfelt, rich, and artistic performance that reflects the WYF’s main focus, which is to uphold the values of peace, creativity, and development.
Once again, young people of different nationalities are getting together this year at the opening of the World Youth Theatre in its third edition, under the slogan ‘Arts to Revive Humanity.’ Many new and exclusive performances will be delivered in the World Youth Theatre, as a continuation of its previous successful plays ‘The Visitor’ and ‘A Trial.’
