Cairo, Egypt — From November 10 to 14, 2024, the Academy of Arts in Egypt will be home to a vibrant theater festival showcasing exceptional young talent from the United Arab Emirates. One of the standout performances is expected to be “Labeeb,” a theatrical play featuring young artists from Khor Fakkan, Kalba, and Dibba Al Hisn. This production intertwines scientific inquiry with emotional storytelling, focusing on a brilliant inventor and his quest to save the world from a deadly virus.
The narrative of “Labeeb” centers around Muneer, the inventor, who fights to protect humanity and his son, Watan, metaphorically representing the UAE. Together with a robotic assistant, Labeeb, they embark on a journey highlighting the crucial role of innovation, teamwork, and scientific progress. The play has resonated well, receiving accolades from both the jury and spectators for its depth and creativity.
During the festival, the young performers expressed immense pride in their contribution, underscoring the global influence of their work. This event forms part of the broader initiatives by the Rubu-Qarn Foundation, which aims to cultivate and showcase young talents from the region.
In addition to theatrical performances, the festival offers enriching workshops that merge education with practical skill development. One workshop, led by Shadi Al-Dali, focuses on advanced acting techniques, helping young actors hone their craft. Another, under the guidance of Dr. Khulood Al-Rashidi, explores puppet-making from recycled materials, bridging creativity with environmental consciousness.
The participation in these workshops and the festival at large highlights the Rubu’ Qarn Foundation’s commitment to nurturing creative skills among youngsters aged 6 to 31. This initiative not only enhances their abilities but also fosters cultural exchanges with Arab theater professionals and integrates innovative theatrical practices as educational and cultural tools.
The inclusion of such diverse educational experiences underscores the festival’s role in promoting sustainable practices through art, enhancing participants’ skill sets, and fostering a greater understanding and appreciation for the cultural landscape of the Arab world.
As these young talents from the UAE perform on an international stage, they not only showcase their individual skills but also project the collective artistic vision of their homeland, pushing forward the boundaries of traditional and contemporary theater.
This festival and its participants remind us of the power of art to transcend boundaries, emphasize sustainability, and inspire future generations to think creatively about solutions to global challenges.
