PLURAL+

I am a Lebanese humanitarian clown, storyteller and performer. With qualifications in performing arts from London and social therapy from New York, I have been working with different communities around the world, finding real stories and transposing them on stage or in film. I co-founded Clown Me In in Lebanon and Mexico, a group using the art of clowning to fight social injustice. I am an artist of Clowns Without Borders USA spreading joy and laughter among disadvantaged communities and in refugee camps. I am the artistic director of the Caravan project, a street theatre performance that took the Syrian refugee stories to more than 50 communities in Lebanon and Tunisia and soon to Europe. Also the managing director of Beirut Cinema Days film festival. I was among the 40 cultural leaders chosen to share their work at the World Economic Forum at Davos in January 2017. My theatre and therapy projects led me to work in many countries such as Lebanon, The United Kingdom, The United States, Brazil, Mexico, India, Canada, Cyprus, Tunisia, Belgium, France, Cameroon, Morocco, Jordan and Dubai.
