The Ahmadi Music Group with Kuwait Jazz Collective present the musical production of Gideon.
Gideon recounts the ancient story of the boyish warrior-prophet who rises from obscurity as the “youngest in the poorest family in the smallest tribe” of all his people. He assembles an army to defeat the Midanite oppressors, who are “like grasshoppers for multitude”. His untrained army approach their enemy under cover of darkness, holding no weapons, but only a dish, a lantern, and a trumpet. On his signal, they break the dishes, wave the lanterns, and blow the trumpets, causing confusion and panic among Midanites, and gaining a great victory. Gideon then reigns as a righteous judge for forty years.
The Ahmadi Music Group are made up of 60 plus singers from many different nationalities here in Kuwait. They will be playing at the Tarek Al Ali Theater in Maidan Hawalli. I honestly hadn’t heard of them before today neither did I know there was a theater in Maidan Hawalli so all this sounds very exciting. Should be an interesting event to go to.
They will be playing on the following dates:
7:00PM Monday 25th, January 2010
7:00PM Tuesday 26th, January 2010
7:00PM Wednesday 27th, January 2010
For tickets call 66184192

There is a little theater in Ahmadi too.
Theater in Midan hawalli where “Abo Sara Fel 3emara” are played lol
same street where the the “moroor” is
A Hebrew / Jewish story from Book of Judges in the Old Testament and Torah…..I’m surprised they are allowing it in Kuwait.
GIDEON??!?!?!?!?!? In Kuwait??!?!?!?! Maybe after it they can sing a rendition of Hatikvah. I can’t see it happening, and if they manage to do it, you’ll hear the parliament discussing this for weeks to come. They will probably wanna grill the MOI about it, and the Emir will end up dissolving parliament.
Stop your stereotype surprises and go! *Calling and reserving*
story has been edited to have no reference to the bible or anything like that. It is neutral like a greek myth. will be fun and exciting for the audience
A few years ago they put on The Buddy Holly Story in Ahmadhi and it was fantastic. Then one year we went to see Joseph (prophet) and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat in Ahmadhi too…….it’s amazing what can ‘slip by’ the MOI…..
