Storyline
“Even if born free, we remain slaves of the laws enacted by our forefathers, which forever denies the most beautiful instinct inside of us all - To love who we love.” ~ Khalil Gibran
This quote by Khalil Gibran exemplifies the plight of the lovers who fell apart through the rules, traditions and expectations of society.
The musical starts in 1923 where an ageing Gibran narrates the story of his love set back in Beirut. An 18-year-old Khalil returns to the Middle East after 5 years, for his studies. With his pacing studies and learnings about his motherland, he had no intention of falling in love, but when he meets Selma, he can’t help but fall deeply. Selma Karamy, belonging to a wealthy family, was married to Mansour Bay Galib. Galib has no good intentions, instead has plans with his uncle Bishop Bulos Galib to yank Selma's money. Gibran and Selma fight for each other but end up surrendering to these unsolicited traditions of this world.
Broken Wings is a sentimental, dreamy, old school romance fairytale that does not end happily but holds a space in your heart to find someone that is just this right for you.
