Mise en Abyme owes a huge part of its journey to Al Sarab, and the remarkable force behind it, Nadra Assaf.

Unofficially, Al Sarab holds the distinction of being our very first collaborators – they placed their trust in us blindly and without hesitation.

If it weren't for Al Sarab and more importantly Nadra Assaf, we might never have set foot on the path of art, culture, and performance.

Our history with Al Sarab goes way back, over a decade before the idea of Mise en Abyme even crossed our minds!

To that we are forever grateful.

Hopefully, all of Europe will soon be hosting Al Sarab performances!

Stay Tuned!
