A gripping new play from a Syrian heart through Syrian eyes, shedding new light on the Syrian conflict.
Near the areas occupied by ISIS in northern Syria a family struggles to find what they should stand for after a revolution. That revolution turned into an international mercenary war spreading sectarianism and extremism in a country that was once a harmonic grinder of all religious ethnicities; like a Mihbaj. -

Syria is headline news since five years; yet, the nuances of its tragedy seem an enigma to many. MIHBAJ tries to shed a light on the humanitarian side of this crisis that scattered Syrians as refugees in many European countries, troubled the conscience of the civilized world and divided most families by animosity and fanatic allegiances. At this time of confusion and fear-mongering we offer an objective view of the Syrian conflict; hoping to inspire and inform others on a personal, family level.

He has a dozen stage plays to his credit, as well as seven television shows and many published books in several Middle Eastern countries. Currently, he teaches at North-western University, Chicago USA, after he left his homeland in 2012 to live in safety from the devastation of the civil war.

“Theatre is a place where every race, creed, sexuality and gender is equal, is embraced and is loved."
