Rihlat Mouhtar ila Sri Nagar

[...] There is this tomb where lies a venerable man… A man whose identity is still dividing researchers from all over the world.
To get things clear, a man, full of doubts, decides to visit this site by himself and travels very far, over land and sea..

Hence, starts a journey that will carry him to a new world where reflexion blends in with comic situations, dance, live original music and live singing.

A scenic evocation where the man challenges many of his beliefs as the Lebanese Theater meets the Far East with all its marvels and mysteries.
