What I liked
I liked the clever way this story was performed by adding a stage “Ringmaster” and a “journalist”, who aided in understanding the plot.
The acting, music and choreography was great.
What I didn't like
The only criticism I have is that at times the Arabic music was too loud and overpowered some of the aktors’ speaking parts, as well as during the part of the documentary video.
My overall impression
CONFESSIONS OF AN ARAB WOMAN gives an amazing insight to women not just from the Middle East, but from countries all around the world. It reaches the human emotions of all genders. The intelligent and creative portraying of all of liefe’s complexities deserves great credit.The actors, music and choreography were excellent and convincing, and drew the spectators totally into their play.
A special bravo to the director Nagham Wehbe who artfully interwove the struggles of the Arab woman with occasional wit and humor. The dramatic short documentary was gripping one’s emotions. This is a play everyone should see as they will take something home that left a lasting impression.
