A Photograph of the Theatrical Performance of "Al-Bahth An Umar al-Khayyam" in Europe, el-Hakawati Theatre
A black-and-white photograph of actor Michael and Robel during the theatrical performance of "Al-Bahth An Umar al-Khayyam [In Search of Umar al-Khayyam]" in Europe. Michael plays the role of the Crusader leader while Robel plays the role of a priest. Written by Jackie Lubick and François abu Salem, the play summons historical figures to be presented as part of a theatrical performance that casts its projections on contemporary reality as the play takes us back to 1908 to give us a presentation on the events that accompanied the first Crusades against Jerusalem, depicting the ruin and destruction that the soldiers inflicted on everything they encountered.
