The Sentinel Play at the Roman Baths

As part of the Beirut Spring Festival 2013, the Roman Baths will be setting of a performance of the play “The Sentinel” written by Wajdi Mouawad, and performed with the collaboration of Jane Birkin.

Synopsis: “A woman alone in the middle of a major thoroughfare in a big city, in the middle of the chaos of rush hour. She is on the lookout for the world, and all she can see is the absence of a world that never appears. She dreams of the day when she will finally be able to scream, “Land ho!”, to cry out, “Life ahead!” – but nothing but birds, so many birds!” These are the words written by Wajdi Mouawad especially for his friend Jane Birkin, who becomes, for the space of this performance, the sentinel of her time, of her world, of her history.
