The Play at 8

Also known as The Chants

On the eve of his most personal play, Khalid, a struggling theater director, seeks escape in drugs and solitude. His night is disrupted by a low-ranking police officer sent to write a report about the performance. What begins as routine spirals into a surreal night of hazy focus, uneasy conversation, and unexpected connection. As boundaries blur and confessions surface, the two men, each quietly battling his own collapse, discover in each other a reflection they didn't expect, and a mirror they can't ignore.
