Theatrical Performance as part of the Theater is = a MUST لازم..مسرح Festival, supported by Jesuit Cultural Center.

Fifty-something Lebanese performer Hanane Hajj Ali jogs every day to avoid osteoporosis, obesity and depression.
Her route takes her through her own personal spaces of Beirut, revisiting roles, characters, desires, dreams, aspirations and disappointments along the way.
The exercise brings her body a rush of adrenaline and dopamine; alternating destructive and constructive effects, mirroring an ever-changing city that destroys to build and builds to destroy.
Alone on a bare stage, Hanane – woman, wife and mother – compares herself with Medea figures: the mythological and everyday Beirut woman.
