“Let’s dream, maybe sleep will take us somewhere in the light of all we are going through.” Here is what Hader Alaa ad-Din said in an interview with Al-Akhbar in 2017. However, the many dreams of the son of Lebanese folk theater founder Hassan Aladdin (1939-1975), known as “Shushu”, was delayed in his early departure a few hours ago, after his heart stopped beating when he was fifty years old. -seven years old.

Hader left this world the same way his father went, in a kind of “quick reunion,” as Lebanese writer Faris Joachim said in a message he sent him through media shortly after his death.
From a young age, Hader Aladdin became addicted to visiting his father’s theater, whose texts were written by Joachim, and fell in love with the stage in all its details.

He completed his directing degree in the United States and came home with many dreams in theater and preserving his father’s extraordinary heritage.
In 1990, at the Piccadilly Theater, he again performed Ah Ya Baladna (played by Joseph Bou Nassar), playing his father.
As part of his attempt to remove his father’s clothes, Faris Joachim wrote the text for him “Krambul” (Set Design by Ghazi Kahwagi), directed by Roger Assaf, starring Aladdin with Faek Homaisi .
During Ramadan 2017, he showed on the nbn screen the comedy program “Shosho in the 21st century” led by Akram Kauk. This experience brought the actor, who died a few months before the start of the Lebanese civil war, to his country, as if he woke up from a deep sleep, where he had not witnessed any events and happenings that took place in the local stage. in matters of politics, economy, society, culture, arts and urban planning… And technology…
Many talked about Hader Aladdin’s talent and kinetic ability, especially on stage, but perhaps he fell victim to his father’s fame, so he carried the burden of his big name and remained in captivity, never found a special artistic personality.
