Woman At Point Zero by El-Turk, Erb 28 Ġun 2023, Minn (2023/2023), Immexxi minn Laila Soliman, Surmast Direttur Kanako Abe, Royal Opera House, London, United Kingdom

Inspired by Egyptian writer and feminist Nawal El Saadawi’s groundbreaking novel, Woman at Point Zero is the story of two women that unfolds over one day. Fatma is an activist imprisoned for manslaughter and Sama a documentary filmmaker. They share memories, experiences and secrets – moving from mistrust to curiosity, and finally friendship. From this universal story of abuse and emancipation, composer Bushra El-Turk, director Laila Soliman, writer Stacy Hardy and scenographer and film designer Bissane Al Charif create a multimedia opera. Conducted by Kanako Abe, the music blends Western and Eastern traditions, performed on a unique mix of folk instruments.
