Sypnosis

The Hishik Bishik show is a tribute to the universe, ambiance and music of Egyptian cabarets and weddings in the early 20th century.

Built around a solid musical backbone with a repertoire taken from Egyptian movies, ten artists on stage aim at doing justice to this era’s musical riches by highlighting its nostalgic and artistic value.

 

عرض غنائي موسيقي يحاكي موسيقى الأفراح والكباريهات التي كانت منتشرة في مصر في النصف الأول من القرن الماضي

أربع لوحات تتضمّن عشرات الأغنيات يؤديها تسعة فنانين موزعين بين موسيقيين، مغنين، ممثلين وراقصين يأخذوننا إلى تلك الحقبة من الزمن الجميل

  • L’Orient-Le Jour
    Without text or story, these characters evolve on stage and, by some game of mirroring or yet three-dimensionality, pull the audience into a timeless journey. One would never want it to end. Colette Khalaf
  • TimeOut Beirut
    The Hishik Bishik Show is a heady onstage trip back to that golden era in Egypt’s history.
  • The Daily Star
    This bottle of early 20th-century Egypt is made all the more delicious by its having been distilled in Beirut, in an era when post-Arab Spring regimes are busily turning their backs on many of the tropes these songs address.
  • L’Hebdo Magazine
    Nothing prepares you enough for what you are going to see on stage!
  • L’Orient-Le Jour
    A must-see. Again and again. Insatiably.
  • السفير
    لعلّ هشك بشك من موقعه المتواضع المرح, فتح كوّة في جدار النقاشات القاسية حول الهوية , ليذكر ببنود منها, بأحلام كانت تطهى لنموها, بهوّة فاصلة لها مبررانتها لكنها لا تعني انقطاعًا سحر مندور
