Lebanese theatre has come back to life in all its forms, and for the first time, two of Lebanon’s biggest names—Georges Khabbaz and Adel Karam—share the stage in “Khyel Sahra”, a social theatrical production blending drama and comedy, nostalgia and historical commentary. The title is derived from the Lebanese slang “Khyel Sahra,” which refers to someone disregarded or marginalized.
Over 80 minutes, Khabbaz and Karam embody two enemy snipers during a ceasefire during the war in 1976.
Though fierce opponents in wartime, they become close friends during truces—sharing coffee, stories, memories, and the burdens of life. The performance captures both the absurdity and the humanity of war.
Set in the 1970s during the early years of the Lebanese Civil War, the play mirrors reality through the evolving bond of its two main characters. It opens with radio news bulletins announcing a two-day ceasefire. Life resumes cautiously, and the two men meet near the frontline. Their dialogue revives bittersweet memories of a beautiful yet bloodstained past.
The collaboration between Georges Khabbaz and Adel Karam marks a milestone in Lebanese theatre. The play touches on national belonging, sacrifice, and emotional struggle, without delving into divisive political topics. Both characters evolve from war-time snipers to modern-day security guards, highlighting the psychological residue of conflict.
This event is presented by Star System and Pipeline.
