About:
While men are only passing through, it is the women who remain. In this bourgeois living room in Cairo, men take up all the space, however. A room that serves at once to protect family intimacy and to welcome visitors from outside, this seemingly ordinary location provides countless creative possibilities for expressing the symbolic and physical imprisonment of the Arab woman and her children.
**Co-produced at the 72nd edition of Festival D’Avignon where it premiere in July 2018.
