Yehia Jaber director of "Hona Beirut"

Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri accepted the invitation of the Marche Association (Lebanon) and attended with Mr. Tamam Salam and Fouad Siniora the first show of "Hona Beirut" (Here Beirut) play. The play was written and directed by by Yehia Jaber on the occasion of the 42nd anniversary of the outbreak of the war on Lebanon on 13 April 1975, with the participation of 17 young men and women from various Beirut's neighborhoods.

The participants represented all the spectrums of Beirut, from sects and doctrins, even from the Palestinian camps, and the displaced Syrians, which gave the work the status of inclusion in monitoring the demographic reality of Beirut.

Fourteen young men and three girls participated in the work, which received the admiration of the presence of political and public figures and a number of future MPs.

The Lebanese PM Hariri took a "selfi" photo with the participants in the end of the play, and congratulated them on their efforts and their innate presence.

The play was performed on a stage in the shape of popular coffee decor, and the actor Joseph Bonsar asking them a few and brief questions about their families and talents, and most of the answers were outside the artistic context, but in the political and sectarian differences.

The writer and director Yahya Jaber, through his many works, became the first monitor of the life of Beirut and its people from all forms of sects and even nationalities, and this appeared in the highest degree with "Here Beirut" play, which showed the sprit of the Lebanese people between each other.

The participants in the play were Adam Hamoud, Mohammed Ayyash, Adnan Kastero, Mohammed Ali Abu Saleh, Adona Hamoud, Zakaria Al Shouha, Mohammed Hamada, Mohammed Shalaby, Mohammed Hamoudi, Mohammed Shalaby, Suhail Zayed, Yousuf Shanawani, Fatima Itani, Zayed Kangoo, Ali Dolani, Suzanne Hamdan, Mohammed Yassin, Gad Hamoush and Mohammed Shuqair.
