Divine Museum is about to uncover a hidden side of what is commonly considered the highest literature text in the Arabic culture, the Quran. As a child, Omar Ghayatt was nourished by the beauty of the images evoked through Quranic recitation. Today, he delivers his memories, points of view, anecdotes in relationship with his most loved images. A poetic ballad through an extremely personal divine museum.

Three dancers create fleeting ephemeral images, configurations and forms, visible through a dreamlike world which takes form and dissolve in front of the spectator, nourished and amplified by the director’s narration.
