From Medina to Karbalāʾ

A Theatrical Reflection on the Stand of Truth

From Medina to Karbala retraces the courageous path of Imām Ḥusayn (ʿa) in the face of tyranny. This unique production begins with the death of Muʿāwiyah and unfolds the events that led to one of the most profound moments in Islamic history—the Day of ʿĀshūrāʾ.

Blending dramatic narration with recitation, this performance transcends the stage and becomes a spiritual experience. Each line is a call to the conscience, each scene a mirror of resistance and divine devotion.

More than a play, From Medina to Karbala is an invitation—to reflect, to rise, and to reconnect with the eternal mission of justice, truth, and sacrifice. In a world in search of meaning and courage, this journey reminds us that the path of Ḥusayn (ʿa) is always open to those who seek it.
