The Hoop – Le Collier

The Hoop is a Saudi play set in a monotonous and joyless office, where employees work mechanically and without passion every day. Nothing changes until Fawzi, the department head, suddenly snaps. Standing on a desk, he breaks the silence with a desperate outburst, questioning the meaning of their repetitive existence. But instead of bringing about change, time restarts. The same gestures, the same conversations, the same silence return, trapping everyone in an endless loop.

More than just an office drama, The Hoop is a reflection on modern life: the routines we never question, the fears we silence, and the cages we no longer see. The play doesn’t provide clear answers, but holds up a mirror and issues a silent challenge: to recognize the loop we’re caught in… and to ask ourselves what it would take to break out of it.
