In collaboration with the Embassy of the Arab Republic of Egypt in the Kingdom of Bahrain and in celebration of International Theatre Day, this contemporary performance showcases two popular figures across Egypt and the Arab World, bringing them to Bahrain. Raya and Sakina are two personalities that have roused contradictory opinions as some consider them thugs whereas others consider them heroines in the face of colonialism. This production highlights another perspective of these characters through psychological analysis of the two personalities as well as research on the economic and cultural conditions of the time, reflecting the intertwining, interferences and struggles of the human psyche in the form of modern dance.
