"Tarhal" or "Migrating Souls" is Meher Salibi's new show, a poetic work about the exile of thousands of Syrians forced to leave their country as a result of the civil war.
The play made a particularly strong impression on audiences when it was presented as part of the Journées Théâtrales de Tunis. The choreography, by Alaa Kremid, is performed by Lana Fahmi, Mazen Nahlawi, Rama Khalifeh and Luis Alberto Bahamon. The music is by Karam Sleibi, with Radwan Zarki on lighting and Layal Abou Zein Edin on set design.
"I'm one of those Syrians who fled the country because I couldn't bear the misfortune that took place in Syria. I wanted to keep in mind this image of a beautiful and historic Syria" - Meher Salibi.
