We Offer You A Nation at Casino du Liban

The Casino du Liban is hosting performances of the play “We Offer You A Nation” by Antoine Ghandour.

Synopsis: We Offer You a Nation is inspired from the real-life story of Patriarch Elias Hoayek, Father of modern Lebanon, and soon to be beatified by the Vatican. It’s an emotional and funny play that touches on the most decisive time in Lebanese history, and interweaves personal stories and historical accuracies seamlessly.

The declaration of “Greater Lebanon” (Le Grand Liban) is told through the eyes of a music teacher (Abir Nehmé) and a medical doctor (Gilbert Jalkh), and the clever and funny depiction of their love story set in a retirement home populated by prominent Lebanese elders of all sects. Antoine Kerbaj delivers an electric and charismatic performance as the Patriarch Hoayek.

Tickets: 30.000 LL, 45.000 LL, 60.000 LL, 80.000 LL and 100.000 LL
