The spreading of culture through translation overseas finally bore fruit as a theater performance in Cairo. It was Dr. Ahmed Fathi of Cairo University, who was fascinated by the novel written by one of the most influential Japanese novelist, Ms. Yuko Tsushima. His translation was published in 2000 through MERIT Publishing House.
It was Mr. Sherif Hamdy and Mr. Osama al-Hawaary, theatre director and script writer based in Alexandria, who stumbled upon Dr. Fathi’s translation and were inspired to dramatize this novel.
It’s the story of a young woman, and her little daughter, who was separated from her husband. The author questions the current male-female relationship and encourages the readers to go beyond.
Where are YOU going after participating in the story? Please enjoy the play and let’s participate in the discussion at the colloquium right after the performance, with the three Egyptians who realized this project and brought us the play.
