00:00This is a production of the Center for Contemporary Art in the Lebanese Capital, Cairo.
00:11The author of this episode in the play, Athar, says,
00:15O son of the living poor, O name known and well-known,
00:20O form of the prisoner man, O dream, O honor, O lust,
00:25He has been a great champion of this time.
00:29Today, we are in the presence of the leader of the Moroccan theater, Al-Hussein Houry.
00:35It is not easy to find a composer who has a complete biography and works.
00:42Rather, it is limited to the fingers of the hand, and his memory comes in some of them,
00:47as a stage of historical stages for the Moroccan theater.
00:52I will tell you about some of the stages in the biography of this man,
00:55in an article written by Hassan Al-Basri.
00:59In it, he says,
01:00Al-Hussein Houry was born in 1946 in the neighborhood of Sidi Othman, in a family center.
01:07The father was struggling to get a living.
01:10He tried as hard as he could to bring his son into an active educational system.
01:15However, Al-Hussein's education did not exceed the need of the family,
01:20to all levels, in order to contribute to the efforts of their individuals from their difficult situation.
01:26Al-Hussein started to hesitate about the role of the young people,
01:29especially the house of the young people, Al-Banbsiq Al-Areeqa.
01:33Starting in 1960, he signed the contract of belonging to the theater.
01:39Al-Hussein was not just a performer performing his role in a theater,
01:43but he worked on many experiments related to the profession of theater and art in general.
01:48He is the composer, the actor, the assistant director, the decorator, and even the manager, if necessary.
01:55Among the associations, such as Al-Ahd Al-Jadeed, Al-Urooba, Al-Liwaa, Layali Al-Shaab,
02:01Al-Hussein Houry remained an essential element in a formation that was fighting over the wood.
02:08The first play Al-Hussein Houry will participate in dates back to 1974,
02:16accompanied by the Al-Urooba theater group.
02:19It was the first play in which he participated with the title,
02:22The Symphony of Anger, and it was one of his compositions.
02:26Al-Hussein Houry was also known to be obsessed with the spirit of theater.
02:31According to critic Najib Talal,
02:33few people know that he gave up the role of the hero
02:37in the film Halaq Darb Al-Fuqaraa to be supported by Al-Habashi.
02:42Al-Hussein Houry established a new theatrical experience,
02:47he called it the stage play,
02:49and his critical view came in the context of what was called the theater of desires,
02:54which was full of movement, activity, creativity, intellectual conflict, art, and beauty.
03:00According to critics, Al-Hussein Houry's play was a clash of ideological theories.
03:06Al-Hussein Houry's play dealt with political, social, cultural, national,
03:13and human issues from a material, realistic, and even controversial point of view.
03:18Al-Hussein Houry always considered the play a historical responsibility,
03:24impressed by this in his writings by the German thinker Brecht,
03:28at least at that stage, as critics say.
03:31Refusing that the play, on the other hand,
03:34is just a free folkloric space, empty of content,
03:39devoid of any positive dimension.
03:42He also believes that the play is a reflection of social reality and historical movement,
03:49and a reflection of the controversial social and class struggle,
03:53with all the changes that take place on the external level
03:57through the controversial link between the play and reality.
04:02One of the most famous works of the play is a dream in the awakening,
04:06the engine, the nail, the wolf, the time,
04:10where are the heads, the flood, the war, the snow,
04:14the madness of the city, and the time of joy.
04:18Al-Hussein Houry lived a luxurious life,
04:21as critics like to call it,
04:23a life of luxury and street life.
04:25He presented his works wherever he went,
04:28in universities, in factories, in public squares,
04:31and sometimes in friendly gatherings.
04:34He had no title, no phone number,
04:36and not even a residence in the last apartment of his life.
04:41He lived freely, and he wrote dozens of plays,
04:45and the last one he performed was Al-Hirba.
04:50In the summer of 1984, in the city of Al-Muhammadiyah,
04:53this artist will leave,
04:55and he will receive the news of his departure
04:57on the front pages of the Moroccan newspapers,
05:00leaving behind his creative works,
05:02which were not printed,
05:04and a will inviting him to document his works
05:08to be a property for the coming generations.
