On one magical theatrical night. The audience’s cameras were able to document a unique moment between the great comedian Tariq Al-Ali and the Saudi football star, Salem Al-Dossary, in a presentation of the play “My Mummy is My Son.” The atmosphere was full of enthusiasm and anticipation, and suddenly, in the middle of the large audience, the famous Al-Hilal player, Salem Al-Dossary, appeared. It aroused unprecedented enthusiasm. Al-Dosari’s appearance was not just a passing event, but rather became a turning point in the theatrical evening.

The play stopped for a moment when Tariq Al-Ali noticed Al-Dosari’s presence. In a way that reflects respect and appreciation, Al Ali led his team of male and female artists to welcome this honored guest. An expressive moment of cultural and sports communication, as artists and actors gathered on stage, welcoming the Saudi football star from the stage. Al-Ali approached Al-Dosari, in a scene expressing appreciation and admiration, as he hugged him and kissed his shoulder, a gesture that carries with it all meanings of respect. And reverence. Commemorative photos that created a bridge between the world of art and the world of sports were taken, amid warm and expressive applause from the audience.
Salem Al-Dosari was not content to be just a spectator. He greeted the audience in the theatre, expressing his gratitude for this warm reception and the love shown by the audience and the artists. Afterwards, Al Dosari returned to his seat to enjoy the rest of the show, leaving behind an unforgettable moment that will remain engraved in the memories of everyone who witnessed this evening.
Art has a vital role in society. It can be a mirror that reflects our reality or a window that opens doors to new worlds. Through art, we learn, think, and contemplate. Artists serve as ambassadors of beauty and creativity, and they contribute to enlightening society and enriching it culturally and intellectually.
Challenges faced by artists
Artists face many challenges, including harsh criticism and difficulty obtaining financial and moral support. This is in addition to the creative challenges that require them to constantly innovate and search for new ways to express themselves. Supporting artists is not only the responsibility of governments and major institutions, but rather the responsibility of the entire society. It is necessary to appreciate art and recognize its importance. The community can support artists by purchasing their work, attending their exhibitions, or even sharing their work on social media platforms.
