Edib Farhan’s Syrian soap talks about dark question of belonging, immigration, and war while keeping the show an incredible ride. The show immerses you in highly specific cultural context that makes you realize how similar we are all.
What I didn't like
More poetry please! I loved all the compliments!
My overall impression
Edib Farhan’s Syrian soap is an incredible clown show set in an intergalactic bath house! It deals with issues of identity, war, queerness, and solving peoples problems through the power of reaching out to the uncles, aunties, and elders long gone for their wisdom. The show is funny and heartfelt, able to tackle dark questions of belonging and war while never bringing down the energy.
