- KEN FI ASFOUR AA SHAJRA (There was a bird on a tree) by COLLECTIF KAHRABA: There was a bird on a tree is based on the book of the nursery rhymes collection published by Dar Onboz in which Najla Jreissati Khoury gathered over 400 rhymes in a period of 30 years from all over Lebanon. It is the story of a Lebanese teta-grandmother who sleeps a lot and wakes up to plant strange seeds. With each seed grows a nursery rhyme during her sleep. It is her story and the story of so many Lebanese grandmothers who collect memories from our oral tradition which sometimes fly with clouds or continue with the younger ones or maybe are put in a book. Created at the request of Dar Onboz publishing house for the Arabic Book fair in Beirut, with the support of the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung Foundation, this play tours in theatres, public spaces, gardens, roof tops, and was presented more than 150 times all over Lebanon.
See you in Hammana!
