I come from Egypt, from a long line of people who were fascinated by stories, Egyptian storytellers come in every shape and form from the shadow player that gathers children around to tell them stories from 1001 nights using his shadow puppets to the drunk and rebellious poets of downtown Alexandria telling glorified stories of failed revolutions against thousands of years of dictatorship. This is an attempt to retell those stories.
