In an honorable action, The Syrian actor and director Nawar Bulbul forced the representatives of the Russian and Chinese TVs to leave Zaatari refugee camp, and refused to let them film his play “Shakespeare in Al Zaatari”.
A video, posted on YouTube, showed the actor Bulbul, standing in front of the two teams who were in total disbelief, saying to them if you came here to film for the Chinese or Russian TV, Then go out of here, but if you are here as friends who came to see the show, then you should sit in the audience seats.
The two teams returned empty-handed after being shocked by what they heard. According to activists
Nawar Bubul, is one of the first actors who declared their support of the Syrian revolution and went out in demonstrations against the Syrian regime, and is known for his participation in Gota demonstrations in Homs calling for revolution pacifism.
The actor who was born in 1973, graduated from the Higher Institute of Dramatic Arts in Damascus, and has participated in several theatrical and television works, and is the son of the author and play writer Fahan Bulbul.
His play “Shakespeare in Zaatari “was made to shed some light on the suffering of the children of Syrian refugees in Jordan.
The play was acted by seventy refugee children who played essential and secondary roles in an artistic piece of work which says that all values advocated by Shakespeare for nearly four centuries of fairness, goodness and beauty haven’t contributed in humanizing human beings more.
Therefore we need - as he says - to slap our human face who led the Syrians to their current situation as a result of this war.
And that all the humanitarian values and ethics in this world haven’t protected these children or preserved their humanity. Translation by Dani Murad
