In this novel, her imagination will take you to the furthest point... where we escape from our world
We will find solace and consolation in it, and our withdrawal into its imagination is not a withdrawal in the true sense of the word
But it is enough to give us some delicious caution so that we do not feel the power of life and the authority of its demands, which is nothing but a simple withdrawal that is not deep enough for us to forget our real misery...
The two brothers, Helmy and Diaa, work in a car repair shop, while their mother works as a dancer in a nightclub.
Every day, when she goes out to work, one of the brothers disguises herself in her clothes to imitate her, and exercises the same dominance over the other with which she treats them.
In a theatrical text based on the play “The Maids” by the French writer Jean Genet, and taking place in the poor post-war neighborhoods of Damascus, Zain Saleh raises the questions that an entire generation suffers from about power, family, asylum, and gender.
Misfortunes befall the Levant Sharif, the birth of strange children increases, drought and poverty prevail, and the attempt of Ibrahim Pasha and the apostles of the French Revolution who joined him to overthrow the state of the Ottoman Sultan is nothing but a sign of the imminent arrival of Satan, as the religious extremists see, trying to preserve the Levant Sharif, fighting the creation Newspapers and comics that encourage obscenity.
All of this is happening outside, while Arwa sneaks into Bernardo’s house and messes with a strange drawing of a complete being, carrying both masculinity and femininity.
In an interesting plot that combines imagination with history, myth, and folktales, Khairy Al-Dhahabi tries to read the effects of the French campaign in Syria, and monitors the return of theater to the Levant, discussing many problematic issues: myth, masculinity and femininity, and the Damascene people killing those who are gay among them.
