APOSPASMATA AGHONISTIKA - directed by Nagy Souraty

RAGMAG ISSUE 8 - in stores NOW!

ETEL ADNAN WROTE:

“Nagy Souraty’s theatre is oceanic in the sense that it touches the mind and the heart in a strange unity that words can't express. It proceeds from an inner logic that overflows theory – that is not perceptible in ordinary ways… It becomes a kind of choreography where everything is ‘right’. It achieves a sense of improvisation, which is the state of grace that theatre can once in a while produce, at its best. Nagy has a perfect instinct that proceeds from his heart and his guts and transcends a knowledge that, by the way, he commands perfectly.”

Etel Adnan - July 2010

Who is the Didaskalos?

Nagy Souraty began his ‘Experimental Agonistic Theatre’ in 2002.
This unique method that is dubbed “Souratism”
by the many actors and crewmembers that have worked with Nagy Souraty,
has become a system that evolves and provokes the mind,
pushes and challenges the body,
and inspires and strengthens the heart.

Nagy Souraty was born in Beirut.
He obtained his Masters of Arts in "Drama & Theatre Studies"
from the Royal Holloway University of London in 1998.
He is a graduate in Communication Arts from the Beirut University College - BUC
(1992, double major: Theatre and Radio, TV & Film).

Nagy Souraty is the coordinator of the artistic education
at the Collège Protestant Français
where he is responsible for the Theatre & Audiovisual emphasis
as part of the French Baccalaureate.
Nagy Souraty is also the Artistic Consultant
& member of the board at the Al Madina Theatre in Beirut.

Nagy Souraty has been teaching since 1992,
as well as Directing and Acting.
