Masrah al-Share' (Theater of the Street): Performing in Downtown Amman (In both Arabic and English)
[Ahmed Sror, Amjad Hijazin, and Suliman Zawahreh. Image from Tableb Albasheer.]
هذا الشريط ضمن سلسة من الأفلام تنشرها ”جدلية“ بالإتفاق مع موقع ”العربي الحر“ ومن انتاجه. توثق هذه الأفلام الوثائقية القصيرة التي تتراوح مدتها بين دقيقتين إلى ثلاث دقائق لجوانب في الحياة اليومية لهؤلاء الذين تتحدث عنهم، وتبعات الثورات العربية سلباً وايجاباً على حياتهم. تتبع الكاميرات حيوات أفراد من أجيال وطبقات مختلفة، سواء كانوا من المدينة أو الريف، أغنياء أو فقراء. كما تحاول تتبع نشاطاتهم في مختلف المناطق العربية والتي يصعب عبور حدودها لأسباب معروفة.
الفيلم بعنوان "مسرح الشارع". في أحد شوارع العاصمة الأردنية عمّان، يؤدي أحمد سرور وأمجد حجازين وسليمان ظواهرة مسرحية تدعو المواطنين الأردنيين إلى محاسبة حكومتهم على الفساد. المؤدون الثلاثة شباب قرروا عبور الخط الأحمر في نقدهم السياسي. فأسسوا "مسرح الشارع" وهو عبارة عن عرض مسرحي في الأماكن العامة في شوارع عمّان وبقية المدن الأردنية. ولا يحتاج مسرح الشارع إلى جمهور محدد أو إلى شراء بطاقات دخول. يركز النقد في مسرح الشارع على فقدان الحرية والحقوق الأساسية. ويتم امجاز المهمة عبر توظيف الكوميديا ورسم شخصيات افتراضية تمثل الطبقات الكادحة. ويمكن للجمهور أن يتفاعل مع العرض ويطلب منه أن يعلق ويطرح الأسئلة ويقدم الاقتراحات.
This video is part of an ongoing series presented in cooperation with Al-Arabi Al-Hor. The films, which are produced by Al-Arabi Al-Hor, portray the daily lives of its featured individuals, following the positive and negative effects of the Arab uprisings on them. The camera follows individuals of different generations and classes, whether from urban centers or rural areas, in rich neighborhoods or poor slums. The films also portray their activities across different Arab regions, the borders of which are difficult to cross for reasons that are well known.
The below video is entiteld Masrah al-Share' (Theater of the Street): Performing in Downtown Amman. In one of Amman's downtown streets, a popular area in the Jordanian capital, Ahmed Sror, Amjad Hijazin, and Suliman Zawahreh perform a play that urges Jordanian citizens to hold their government accountable for corruption. The three performers are young Jordanians who decided to cross the red lines of public political criticism. So they started the Street Theater, a form of theatrical performance that takes place in public spaces in the streets of Amman and the rest of Jordan without a specific audience paying to watch. The street theater's criticism focuses on the lack of freedoms and basic rights of Jordanian citizens. This is accomplished through the genre of comedy with hypothetical characters addressing ideas that represent the laboring class of society. The street theater aims to put the street audience in a state of total surprise as they are forced to analyze the ideas put forward by the performance, which requires high-speed agility and the ability to maintain a rhythm and stick to the limits of representation in the vicinity of the street character. In turn, the audience in the street is asked to interact with the actors through commenting, asking questions, or suggesting ideas.
