On Tuesday, July 30 at 8:30 PM, the Royal Cultural Center will host the play 'The Fourth Estate' as part of the second edition of the Monodrama Festival, which is included in the 38th Jerash Festival for Culture and Arts. The monodrama features actor Khaled Huwaysa, directed by Abdelkader Ben Said, with a script by the star of the play and journalist Naji Al-Zairi.
'The Fourth Estate' is an artistic attempt to reveal the state of Tunisian journalism before what is known as the Arab Spring. During the one-and-a-half-hour performance, it addresses the story of an ambitious young man who faced numerous challenges throughout a difficult journey, exposing the inner workings of journalism and uncovering facts that were unknown to the ordinary citizen.
The play, through its writing and performance, aims to present the difficulties and obstacles faced by the media sector by exposing practices that undermined freedom of expression using the monodrama format and the 'flashback' technique. It highlights the central character, journalist Ali Al-Shamkhi, who dreams of becoming an influential figure in society.
'The Fourth Estate' employs black comedy throughout the play to illustrate the changes and challenges in print journalism from the past to the present, including the impact of digitalization on writers.
This monodrama, emerging from the 'profession of troubles' (journalism), brings the world of power to the stage, presenting it artistically on the theater platform.
