Inspired by the seminal novel by Egyptian writer and feminist Nawal El Saadawi, Woman at Point Zero is a story two women: Fatma, an activist imprisoned for manslaughter and Sama, an ambitious documentary filmmaker, that unfolds over one day. They share their memories, & experiences and secrets - moving from distrust to curiosity and solidarity and finally friendship. From this universal story of abuse and emancipation, composer Bushra El-Turk, director Laila Soliman, writer Stacy Hardy and scenographer and film designer Bissane Al Charif create a multimedia opera. Conducted by Kanako Abe, the music is performed on a unique mix of ancient folk instruments by musicians from all over the world, alongside the singers Dima Orsho and Carla Nahadi Babelegoto.
