To mark Kuwait’s designation as the Arab Media Capital and the Arab Culture Capital 2025, the National Theatre will host the epic historical production “The Earth’s Horizon” from 14–17 February as part of the official launch celebrations. Produced by the Ministry of Information, the show spans 300 years of Kuwait’s legacy of leadership and prosperity, highlighting its historical significance in trade and its role in the exchange of knowledge and ideas.
Presented as a visual fantasy, the production brings to life the late Kuwaiti astronomer Saleh Al-Ojairi, who reads the stars over Kuwait to recount key historical events. Through musical, dramatic, and choreographed tableaux, the performance explores the contributions of Arabs to astronomy and the prominent figures who shaped Kuwait’s thriving trade industry. It also reflects on how foreign travellers once referred to Kuwait as the “Marseille of the East,” acknowledging its strategic location. The show further traces Kuwait’s pursuit of knowledge and concludes with a dramatic portrayal of its vision for the future.
Under the direction of acclaimed theatre director Abdullah Abdulrasoul, “The Earth’s Horizon” features a distinguished cast of actors and singers from Kuwait and the Arab world, alongside performance groups and dance ensembles. The production blends theatre and music with advanced audiovisual effects and modern technologies, offering an immersive experience that seamlessly moves through history while honouring the essence of each era and Kuwait’s aspirations for the future.
