This season, Amal Arafa renews her identity in acting, and the owner of Dunya’s character is armed with all this enthusiasm to participate in more than one Syrian and Arab drama, to present three filmed series for the Ramadan season, pending approval of wholesale scenarios for the post-season stage, including participation in joint dramas that will be filmed. In Beirut.
Amal Arafa did not receive any reviews for her role in “Brando Al Sharq”, the series that brought her together with writer and actor Georges Khabbaz in their first collaboration. The work ended quietly, following observers said that her role was marginal in the work, and that any actress might present it. However, the participation of Amal Arafa, according to the reactions, indicated great confidence in her, and that the presence in small roles sometimes confirms the correctness of searching for diversity, especially as she is a guest on a common dramatic content, which deserves all this praise and success achieved by “Brando of the East”.
The Syrian artist regains her presence and glow following years of absence without reasons, but Arafa, who is rushing into the world of drama more than ever, is trying to compensate her large audience in the Arab world for her absence, and of course she will occupy spaces in the Syrian drama through three series, which are “Haret al-Qobba”. In its second part, and “Jam Al-Ezz” (both directed by Rasha Sharbatji), and “Alley of the Jinn” (directed by Tamer Ishaq).
Arafa tries to predominate the line of difference in her participation in three works that may be similar in form. As she belongs to the Levantine environment, but she is very different in content, she first stands in front of her colleague Ayman Zaidan in “Alley of the Jinn” as Shaima. The information indicates that the series is not similar to what has come to be known as the series “The Levantine Environment” in a documentary way. The very well-known neighborhood in Damascus. This puts Arafa in confrontation with a strong partner, Ayman Zaidan, and increases the excitement of waiting among the Syrian and Arab public.
Although director Rasha Sharbatji worked on two series of the same genre, the difference between the two series will appear automatically in front of the viewer, according to what Sharbatji confirms in several statements. As for the role of Amal Arafa in “Jam Al-Ezz”, it bears very complex aspects of “Queen” (her name in the series), and Mahmoud Nasr shares this with her, who restores his experiences in the world of Levantine drama with the clear support of Sharbatji, and a blessing that reaches the limits of competition in the conflict. With Amal Arafa.
In light of the absence of Sulafa Mimar from the Syrian local drama, which is preoccupied with Arabized Turkish drama, and Karis Bashar’s preference for a joint drama (“fire with fire”) filmed in Beirut, Amal Arafa can regain a resounding success emanating from Damascus this time as well, to confirm the depth of Her talent and craftsmanship is to remain in the front row without any concession.
