BLACK AND WHITE
Stage Production
November 2018
Sheikh Jaber al Ahmed Cultural Centre, Kuwait
In its golden age, the Egyptian film industry was distinctly characterized by placing songs, mostly romantic ones, at the forefront of movies’ plots.
Musical films, in particular, were a cornerstone of an industry that rose to prominence on the shoulders of some of the biggest names in Arabic music. In return, their movies served as a shortcut to the hearts and minds of fans who grew up associating their favourite songs with timeless scenes on the big screen.
In Black and White, these memories are evoked in a theatrical show featuring set and projection design and live-action camera that combines music and live performance with the participation of the JACC Orchestra.
