Shou Ya Ashta

" Shou Ya Ashta "  a dark comedy by Wafa'a Halawi, Michele Fenianos and Riad Chirazi, offers a poignant exploration of gender-based violence amidst Lebanon's challenging landscape. Through a blend of humor and introspection, this play sheds light on societal issues.

Dr. Jouni, a respected therapist, guides characters like Nour, Leila, and Mira through their journeys of healing and self-discovery. The play challenges societal norms, addressing victim blaming and the culture of silence.

With its witty comedy and compelling narrative, "Shou Ya Ashta" sparks conversations about societal change and justice, inviting audiences to confront their own beliefs about desire, power, and self-determination.
