Attendees of the theatrical performance Terhal, launched by the Ministry of Culture at the Mayadeen Venue in Diriyah, are treated to an exceptional, immersive experience through visual portals that reshape both space and memory.
Running until August 25, audiences are instantly transported into a world far removed from reality, immersing them in the symbolic journey of Saad, the protagonist.
His odyssey traverses the Kingdom’s diverse landscapes, from coastal shores to towering mountains, fertile valleys, golden deserts, and lush palm-filled oases.
The performance brought Saudi handicrafts to life through dynamic kinetic compositions, seamlessly blending traditional tools with light projections that vividly recreated the manufacturing process.
The audience was fully immersed, feeling as though they were inside a workshop—absorbing the rhythmic strike of hammers and the warm, flickering glow of fire.
In another captivating scene that evoked a marine environment, light projections transformed the stage floor into a living sea, its waves undulating in harmony with the actors’ movements.
The atmosphere was enriched by the powerful, melodious voice of a singer, whose stirring song rallied the sailors aboard the ship as it sailed across the vast waters.
Saudi social traditions are portrayed through a serene visual focus, warm hues, and a graceful kinetic rhythm, infusing the scene with profound emotional depth.
