NEW JIBLA

Stage Production
December 2019
Sheikh Jaber al Ahmed Cultural Centre, Kuwait

Following Earth’s total destruction from a major catastrophe, the global elite prepare for their departure to Mars. A single unremarkable family manage to sneak in, averting the migration to Saturn with the rest of Earth's population.

Years after the flight from the burning planet to Mars, social justice and human well-being are achieved. Yet despite all the advantages of Martian life, traditions and customs of former life on Earth are difficult to shake off.

New Jibla is a play that takes a satirical look at the future whilst questioning the values and ideals of present-day Kuwait.
