It was called “A Play Without a Title” for a long time. It was without a
title… and unexpected. The work began with a written script by an
Egyptian writer and during rehearsals we began to try out some
improvisations. We soon discovered that we liked the improvisations
better than the script. Slowly slowly we cut away the script until
nothing at all was left of it. The improvisations became funnier and
funnier. We worked on some clowning techniques until we arrived at the
play now known as “Rami’s Dream.”
This collective creation gives us Rami. He’s just passed his
high school graduation test and he’s ready for life! What should he do. “I think
I’ll ask for around.” Big mistake! Rami is advised from an assortment of people
with an assortment of agendas about how to live life. Get Married! Get Money!
Become a Teacher! Open a Shop! Move in with Im Abed?! Rami cannot sleep. He
cannot choose. Finally he makes up his mind. His own mind.
