Al Awda, or "The Return," is an exploration of Gibran Khalil Gibran’s own great leap.
Heavily inspired by The Prophet, it is a semi-fictional narrative biography of one of Lebanon’s greatest authors — a journey through his struggles, revelations, and breakthroughs.
Through their mesmerizing choreographies, Mayyas paint a vivid portrait of the entanglement between the artist’s lived odyssey and his written revelations. Channeling Gibran’s own words, and through our humble attempt to breathe life and movement into his poetry, we invite you to explore reflections beyond ink and paper.
Ask not what lies ahead, but what awaits man when he shall return.
