Taher Essa wins Best Director at Cairo Festival
The 33rd edition of the Cairo International Festival for Experimental Theatre concluded recently with an award ceremony honoring Tunisian artist Tahar Essaï for directing the play "No Trend," which examined the phenomenon of undervaluing outward appearances in contrast to the social and political complexities behind them—systems that use fashion and digital marketing to dominate and exploit humanity. Additionally, the lead actor of the play, Amir Dredi, received the Best Actor Award, sharing the honor with Alexei Titekov for the Russian production "Poor Lisa." Other shows also received awards, including "Zinia + Tania = Love" from Belarus and "Night Game" from the United Kingdom. The festival also recognized achievements in scenography and playwriting, emphasizing contemporary theatrical experiments and the struggles of humanity under systems of domination.
