Young theater director Mohamed Al-Sagheer is preparing for a new theatrical show entitled " Waste Recycling" for which decor is used entirely out of garbage, with the help of a crew of unknown youth workshop graduates. The new show comes after the success of the re-show of " The Gelatinous Biography " on the open stage of the Opera House, which was shown for the first time theatrical works in cooperation with the Artistic House of Theater.

"Al-Sagheer" said that he gave up the converting of international texts this time, to rely on the idea of "Recycling" on the entire theatrical work of the cast of actors.

It starts with the story and its content, which creates in the artist the spirit of working within a team that forms a single unit and there is no place for selfishness.

He continued to say that the crew has finished preparing for the new presentation completely. The crew is waiting for a suitable date for the presentation, which will often be next October.

The idea of the show depends on taking recycling as a way of life and not only with regard to old material things.

Egyptian Hamlet:

It is noteworthy that the presentation of "The Gelatinous Biography" discusses the international theatrical text "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare.

But the new show came in a sarcastic and comical context which includes the transformation of the idea of betrayal discussed by the work to the idea of revenge in Upper Egypt.

The re-show achieved great success. It was praised by Dr. Enas Abdel Dayem, Minister of Culture, who was keen to attend the last day of the show on the open theater.

The show was included in the opera schedule upon her request, according to a statement by Mohamed Al-Sagheer, the director of the show.

The "Gelatinous Biography" tells of a young man, "Harras," who is involved in a psychological struggle between revenge for the killing of his father at the hands of his uncle and his mother.

He is characterized by goodness and gullibility, so he refuses to take revenge until his personality is pided into three personalities which fight, and then this revenge is achieved.

"Al-Sagheer revealed that he is very happy with the replay, especially that it was done at the request of the minister who liked it and asked for it to be shown in the opera. The minister said that she did not laugh out of her heart because of a theatrical performance like that.

She also praised the idea of transforming Hamlet's famous novel into a comic high play. She pointed out that added many details to the old show as a kind of update in line with the use of the place and its privacy, such as adding famous compositions such as one of Muhammad Ramadan's songs or old children's songs with words that fit the show.

Al-Sagheer is considered one of the brightest young theater directors. He introduced a number of art stars who have appeared today.

He relies on many of his shows on popular comedy or improvisation, which he does not consider a departure from the text and allows the ideals to be diligent and distinguished.

He has also previously converted the international text "Romeo and Juliet" in this comic and satirical manner with the Egyptian character of the details. He succeeded greatly and won a number of awards, including the best presentation at the National Festival in 2008.
