Developed Projects
In the form of a musical comedy, the author shines the spotlight on the Egyptian revolution experienced by young people from disadvantaged neighborhoods. Indeed, “the pickpockets” and the “attackers”, two gangs of thieves led respectively by Sayed Bakr and Nasr El Dakhakhny. Before the revolution, these two bands engaged in merciless war. They decided during the revolution to commit to social justice, by becoming an “ambulance” in Tahrir Square.
