Terhal is a large-scale theatrical production by Dragone, created in collaboration with the Saudi Ministry of Culture and presented in Riyadh. As the first production of its kind in the Kingdom, the show pays tribute to Saudi Arabia’s history, culture and identity, while connecting it to a contemporary narrative.
The performance brings together more than 60 local Saudi artists and 60 international performers, following the journey of Saad, a young Saudi navigating across time and space. Through a combination of storytelling, performance and visual elements, the production explores themes of heritage, nature and identity, ultimately highlighting the connection between the past and the future.
Terhal also marks the first Dragone show presented following the passing of its founder and Artistic Director, Franco Dragone, making it a particularly significant production for the entire creative team.
