Chadi El Haber

Founder, director, trainer

This is not a celebrity page. It is a page for a teacher, director, and house-builder.

Chadi El Haber led a training project that became a theatre home, troupe, and production space. The teaching philosophy is practical: it begins with voice, body, and lived experience rather than theory alone.

The selected works in the archive move through war memory, women’s stories, black comedy, social laws, and everyday life in Lebanon.

Students write from their own issues and turn personal pain into stage energy.
