⭐ BROKEN WINGS SPECIAL VIDEO RELEASED IN AID OF THE RED CROSS’ BEIRUT EMERGENCY APPEAL ⭐
Following the devastating explosion in Beirut on August 4th 2020, over 40 artists have collaborated between London and Beirut to film a Music Video of ‘All I Longed To See’, from new musical Broken Wings by Nadim Naaman and Dana Al Fardan, with Orchestrations by Joe Davison.
The video has been produced in aid of The Beirut Emergency Appeal, a collaborative fund established between both The British and Lebanese Red Cross. As a result of the explosion, at least 181 people have lost their lives, over 6,000 people have been wounded, and 300,000 are now homeless. These numbers are likely to continue to rise.
The video features performances from West End Stars and Broken Wings Alumni, accompanied by London-based musicians and members of The Lebanese Philharmonic Orchestra in Beirut.
The performance was filmed and recorded at Southwark Playhouse, who donated both their stage and staff to the cause. Videography and Post-Production have been donated by The Barn Theatre, Cirencester.
The Company (in Alphabetical Order): Eva-Theresa Chokarian, Joseph Claus, Nadeem Crowe, Melissa Dano, Nikki Davison, Hiba Elchikhe, Soophia Foroughi, Fenton Gray, Rob Houchen, Irvine Iqbal, Hanna Khogali, Adam Linstead, Johan Munir, Nadim Naaman, Benjamin Purkiss, Lauren James Ray, Mia Richards, Jeremy Secomb, Jake Stewart, Aliza Vakil and Bethany Weaver.
The Musical is based on the 1912 novel The Broken Wings, by the iconic Khalil Gibran. It tells the story of Gibran himself and Selma Karamy, whose poetic love story must navigate the societal customs and challenges of turn-of-the-century Beirut.
