Ahmed El Attar present "Salma, Mon Amour"
Salma belongs to a rich Egyptian family. Her brother, Karim, is about to marry his American fiancée, a marriage that will officialise a commercial agreement between the two families’ companies. But, after 7 October, the situation in the region becomes unstable and the wedding has to be postponed, to the family’s dismay. With Salma, Mon Amour, Ahmed El Attar explores the world of those who feel untouched by history. A master at blending genres, the Egyptian playwright renders the chaos and uncertainty of this winded world, asking what life we can return to when our world has been burnt to ash. Who pays the price of violence and inhumanity? What happens after horror, destruction, and trauma?
