A story about growing up, friendship and resistance. Nabila hopes to find happiness in the big city as she flees her rual life with her parents.
Once arrived in the city she doesn’t know where to go, she survives, finds friendship and love. Then she discovers a terrible truth: a world where a few people decide on the faith of many others.The Towers of Beirut is a story of protest and a courageous search for happiness.
“... a beautiful music theatre performance on a formal level... Aline Goffin tells the story in a very fascinating way .... Also the interaction between live text and recorded text that seamlessly merge into one another is very clever. When spoken text is heard, this performance offers a very clever surround experience.”
