Sudan Events – Magda Hassan<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the past years, Al-Buqaa Festival has been a candle through which Sudanese theater celebrates World Theater Day on March 27 of each year.
\nThe National Theater in Omdurman hosts this event and from its stage the word World Theater Day is broadcast.
\nThis year represents an exceptional year. In addition to the extinguishing of the flame of the National Theater, theater makers at home and abroad have been divided between displaced and refugee, and despite the critical conditions they are working wherever they are.
\nWorld Theater Day was a holiday in which playwrights exchanged congratulations on a year of peace in which theater fulfills its mission to the fullest.
\nAs for the stage of the National Theater, from which the rebellion emerged a few days ago, it stands sad on this day, and this sadness is shared by Sudanese theatres.
\nDirector Hatem Mohamed Ali, a member of the National Acting Troupe, began his speech by saying (Is there another return or is it impossible?) in reference to the stage of the National Theater, and he expressed his pessimism about the return, and justified by saying, \u201cAccording to the outcome, what happened indicates that, and according to the information, optimism ignoring this information makes…
\nWe look at the future with innocent eyes.\u201d
\nOn the other hand, academic and actor Dr. Saleh Abdel Qader began to be more optimistic as he said: \u201cDespite all the conditions that the country we love is going through,
\nThe Sudanese people pass through it
\nOn World Theater Day, we say that theater is life
\nThe theatrical artist is the giver of hope for the good life of truth, beauty, knowledge, and thought, and the opposite of death and destruction.\u201d
\nHe added, “Theatrical art combats ugliness with beauty and hatred with love.”
\nAnd darkness with enlightenment and illumination..
\nAlways and forever, he teaches us the art of dialogue and acceptance of others… and to rise above things and aspire towards the truth… not to breathe the polluted breeze. Long live freedom… just be more wonderful than us, truly more beautiful than us.\u201d
\nThe critic and academic Dr. Elisha Hassan Ahmed, in a direction not different from Hatem, says, \u201cWith affection and love for our colleagues, we say to the Sudanese playwrights, \u2018May Allah heal the wounds of the soul, save the country, and let us return safely.\u2019
\nIn bitter reality, we say that theater with its traditional concepts is over. Reality has surpassed imagination and simulation by leagues, and new heroes have emerged, managing in vain that is impossible to keep up with.\u201d
\nNow the free media, live streams, and platforms create a different theater for us.
\nWhat kind of theater do we want and what kind of theater do we make?
\nOn what stage do we rise?
\nBut the theater actor, Awad Shakespeare, was more optimistic and simply said, \u201cArise, you old genie, and be the destructive weapon and be a symbol of peace.\u201d
\nDr.. Shams al-Din Younis, a former director of the National Theater and a professor at the Faculty of Music and Drama, despite the lights being extinguished at the National Theater this year, he considered it (transcending circumstances) and said: We know that theater will remain as long as life remains and that theater is the art of demanding what is right.
\nHe added, \u201cOh theater, you have great tasks in society.\u201d Also Danny..
\n\u201cYou playwrights, get up to your tasks.\u201d
\nThe views of the playwrights fluctuate between hope and regret, but the most regretful of them is the former director of the theater, Makki Sinada, who gave the highest bid and had the longest management period at the National Theater in Omdurman, when he said, \u201cWhat theater are you talking about?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
