The Phoenix rises in Dubai
A musical epic has been enchanting theatre-goers in Dubai during the Eid break, ‘The Return of the Phoenix’, which ends its run at Airport Expo Dubai tonight, is the latest production from the Rahbani family, the Lebanese theatre dynasty who brought their extravagant production of Xenobia: Queen of the Desert to Dubai last year.
The Return of the Phoenix tells the story of rival kingdoms warring for control of the city of Byblos in Lebanon, which is believed to be the oldest continually inhabited city in the world. The director, Marwan Rahbani, said the tale addresses universal themes of political power, love, betrayal and sacrifice, set against the backdrop of war.
Staged outdoors in Byblos, the play had a successful run and although the set was scaled down for the indoor performance in Dubai, The Return of the Phoenix has remained a huge show, with 80 actors and more than 500 costumes.
