Showcasing the interpretations of the play: Between War & Peace by Tawfiq AL Hakim, which is based on love, conflict, and imagination is executed with sensitivity to the region and its representation in the global arena forces us to be provoked through series of dialogs on the subject of relationship between three characters.
We often either dwell into discourse aggressively or shy away from confrontation that leaves us with a void in communication of resolutions. One only needs to look at the current news and see what course and map of the world is outlined for the history books. Simply Walking out of the door might not be the answer for many conflicts or resolutions that hold some merit.
I agree that through imagination one may resolve conflicts but the word 'creative' is much needed, the word strategy cannot be dismissed, and even more important perhaps is a desire and sincere hope must be a catalyst to resolve any conflict.
Technically the website navigation is user friendly and the aesthetics are attractive and not distracting to the reading. A well executed template that serves the purpose. It makes me eager to read other stories from the region on the subject of love, power and conflict. Beautifully executed and a highly engaging work. Well done!
