Wednesday, August 22, 2007

I've recently read a post of Roba who was clearly criticizing the Jordanian theatre scene. Well, she built her opinion after watching a low quality play at Masrah Il-Thaqafeh in Amman.

I think Roba went by herself to see the actors and their "artistic" performance, but my experience of Monday was quite different.. I was normally walking down University St. (Irbid) when I was surprised by a big crowd standing in the middle of the road and on the sidewalk in front of Gloria Donuts.

I came close to that crowd and asked one of the guys about what was going there..

He answered with a shining smile: Masra7yeh

At first, I've thought he was kidding me, I'm quite pessimistic and I suppose that's more probable to see a fight or a theft attempt in Irbid's streets, anyways, the guy was right, that thing looked like a theatre play with two guys and three women putting on their techniques in stage acting.

I've watched some acts for nearly ten minutes, all-amazed by the big group of people who were recording the play with their mobile phones and by the many cars that stopped to know the reason of all that mess.

Yesterday, I read on Alrai newspaper that the actors were not allowed to enter Yarmouk University, in which the play should have been performed, the university's security guards refused that without giving any reason.

I don't know if people were there by chance, curiosity or interest, (a Service driver sincerely told me: We thought they were psychopaths) but I'm sure they had more audience in this way than by the usual unknown performance in the university's theatre which no one attends.

And it is not wrong to have more theatre plays in our streets!

How are the donuts there? Never tried them? And the cafe on the second floor?

Now that's Creative!

Cool cool. Does Yarmouk offer a theatre degree by any chance?

Mohanned: thanks for the warning..
TO ALL THEATRE ACTORS: DO NOT HAVE PLAYS IN SALT! :P

Anon: The donuts there are quite good, go try it! (About the cafe, I know they have a wide screen for football matches)

M Kilany: A little creative since they were forced to have their play there!

Roba: Yes, there's a BA in drama (you can read about it here). By the way, the faculty of fine arts in Yarmouk is the oldest of Jordan.

I'd say "ruba daraten nafi3a", I believe it's more fun to do it in the street.

Jad You are right and I hope more actors will do the same... there's more fun and more audience too!

Great!
a play outdoors, why not!:D im sure that at least they got more people to watch!

Yes Amani, let's say the truth, the've got a bigger success performing in the street!
