A fine gesture: a bronze given to Raymond Gebara

Under the headline « A Fine Gesture », this short item reports that Antoine Berberi has given the man of the theatre Raymond Gebara a bronze sculpture bearing the name of one of his plays, « Zarathoustra devenu chien » (Zarathustra Turned Dog), presented in 1977 at the Capitole cinema-theatre in Beit Mery, the same piece that was on view a few days earlier at the inaugural exhibition at Amwaj. The gift was handed to him at the end of the last performance of his play « Saneh al Ahlam », a few days after Gebara received the distinction of Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters, presented by the French cultural attaché Maurice Calvet, in the presence in particular of Reda Khoury and Henri Zgheib. « Considering that Raymond Gebara deserves every honour, Antoine Berberi has just given him a fine gift », the article notes.
