Al Sowan

Al Sowan is an Egyptian play written and directed by French theatre-maker Pascal Rambert and translated by actress, director, and drama critic Menha El Batrawy. This is Rambert’s first Egyptian play, written especially for the local audience at D-CAF – where it is set to make its World Premiere. The play brings together a dazzling cast, starring actors Magdy Atwan, Noha El Kholy, Nanda Mohammad, Mohamed Hatem, Raafat El Bayoumi, Sarrah Abdelrahman, Ahmed Malek, Laila Ghoneim, Marwan El Gabalawy and Yehia Hussein.

Directed by Pascal Rambert, Al Sowan leans on a strong ensemble — Nanda Mohamed, Ahmed Malek, Sarrah Abdelrahman — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2023.
