Some memories never truly disappear. They remain like fragments of glass; beautiful, fragile, and sharp enough to cut. ✨

Step into the faded world of the Wingfields in Tennessee Williams’ timeless masterpiece, The Glass Menagerie. Amidst the shadows of a small apartment, Amanda clings to a glamorous past, Laura retreats into her delicate glass collection, and Tom dreams of escape. When a 'gentleman caller' arrives, a moment of hope enters their fragile household but will it shatter?

Join us for a poignant exploration of love, illusion, and the painful cost of leaving the past behind.

📍 Location: Gerhart Theatre, AUC New Cairo
📅 Dates: October 26th–29th & 31st
🕖 Time: 7:00 PM
🎟️ Admission: Free and Open to the Public

POV: You’re learning how to actually become the character. 🎭✨

We’re still not over Giles Foreman’s Workshop Experience! From chaotic (but amazing) theatre games to figuring out the physical + emotional layers of a role... yeah, it’s not as easy as it looks, but it’s SO fun. Swipe to see the magic ➡️

The city resists a fixed form.

A Title Resembling an Unstable Image
Curated by Ahmed Shawky Hassan

Mirrors. Garments. Fences. Dolls. Urban infrastructure as witness.

This exhibition brings together over 30 emerging artists working across sculpture, installation, painting, textiles, video, and digital image-making. Together, they examine how political, social, and economic transformations embed themselves in intimate objects and shared spaces ; shaping movement, visibility, belonging, and access.

The city becomes an unstable image. And that's exactly where meaning lives.
