On the occasion of International Children’s day, and in light of the joint cooperation between NMEC and the Ministry of Culture, the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization presented “Rehlet el-Zaman el-Gameel” or “Journey of the Beautiful Time”; a puppet show produced by the Cairo’s Puppet Theater.
The storytelling revolves around a journey of a group of children to the Pharaonic era, mainly during the reign of King Akhenaten, the tenth ruler of the Eighteenth Dynasty. It also included an illustration of the Egyptian oral heritage, in order to consolidate the tangible and intangible cultural heritage in the minds of children.
Written by Yehya Zakaria, directed by Mohamed Anwar and composed by Karim Arafa the show was held for three consecutive days from Saturday 11/20/2021 to Monday 22/11/2021 at NMEC’s theater. Ms. Azza Rizq from the Department of Museum Education, on the other hand, stated that NMEC warmly welcomed students from various public and private schools, orphanages, associations for the visual and hearing impaired people of determination, as well as delegations from the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and their families, highlighting.
