The show is a competition for the most talented poet in Arabic poetry. The Nabati Poetry’s omnipresence in the heritage of the Gulf Region was a witness to the social and cultural advancement of the people living there. Today, in a world influenced by technology, it is important to introduce the new generations to this art before it is lost. For without heritage one cannot move forward into the future.

The set is built around the notion of knowledge. The living testament to that knowledge is arabic calligraphy, the building block of poetry culture as a whole. the letters cut in steel form a pathway linking the contestant (sitting on the show’s “trademark seat”) to the jury. this communication of sound and echo between the frames of the jury and contestant resounds in all the set forming waves that transform the space into a vibrant entity displayed in front of a digital background representing the city where the show is touring.

The general aspect of the set is very modernistic to highlight the fact that Nabati Potery is not simply part of the past, but it is a stepping stone into the future.
