In his capacity as the head of the Supreme Committee of the Cairo International University Theater Forum, Dr. Hossam Badrawi participated with director Amr Qabil, head of the Cairo International University Theater Forum, yesterday evening, Sunday, October 20, 2024, in the activities of the sixth session of the forum, which bears the name of the late artist Fouad El Mohandes, at Al Samer Theater.
Qabil conveyed greetings to Dr. Hossam Badrawi, head of the Supreme Committee of the Forum, and to all attendees after calling on the attendees to stand for a minute of silence for the souls of the students of Al-Jalala University, who were killed in a traffic accident last Monday, October 14.
Amr Qabil confirmed the solidarity of the Cairo International University Theater Forum with Al-Jalala University and the families of the victims in this great tragedy, pointing out that this painful accident represents a huge loss for the Egyptian scene, as we lost promising young people who were carrying the future in Egypt on their shoulders.
He continued, “Every year, life puts us through a difficult test to test our faith and conviction in our dream and our adherence to it. Life is ours… ours… we color it with the colors of truth, goodness, and beauty. Theater is what taught us love, it taught us truth, and resistance, resistance to ugliness, injustice, sadness, and death.” “The success of the forum throughout its past five sessions was not a coincidence, but rather an insistence that we live up to this responsibility that our country and national institutions have placed in us so that we can achieve our legitimate dreams. I say again and again, we have dreamed, thought, and strived with a striving whose title is hope and faith, until we were able to cross from the world of dreams to the ground of reality, to make this reality as beautiful and wonderful as dreams. Because success can never be achieved except through the solidarity and integration of partners in success, allow me to extend my thanks to everyone who believed in this forum and to everyone who supported and contributed to making it an academic and artistic platform worthy of our beloved and precious country.” Qabil continued: “To all the students of Al-Jalala University, to Dr. Mohamed El-Shenawy, the university president, to all the faculty members and all the university employees, in my name and on behalf of the forum family, we offer you our sincere condolences, praying to God Almighty to have mercy on our youth, the victims of the painful accident, and to inspire their families and relatives with patience and solace, stressing our solidarity with you in good times and bad, and our commitment to your presence as partners in the success of the sixth session, appreciating your generous reception, your hospitality and your appreciation for our cultural project and your interest.” Qabil concluded his speech: “I say with the utmost firm faith.. to every individual in the forum youth and to all their peers who dream of a better tomorrow.. with your will you will win only, be creative.. go ahead.” Cairo International University Theater Forum, headed by Dr. Hossam Badrawi, Chairman of the Festival’s Supreme Committee, and the committee members include artist Tarek El-Dessouki, writer Fatima Naoot, Dr. Samar Saeed, Secretary General of the Forum, and Dr. Amal Siddiq Afifi..
