Canada Hanna reveals the secrets of her unexpected personality…in the series “The Strike”

 

The presence of her name in the lead of any work is sufficient reason for its success and spread, as she possesses a remarkable talent and a dominant presence, which the Arab public has always received with great love, and she has returned the same feelings.

The Syrian star, Canada Hanna, appears again to her Arab fans in the holy month of Ramadan, as part of one of the most important dramatic works, the series “Al-Darba”, which deals with a different story about an international sport, which is very popular, and gives it a deep dramatic dimension.

The series tells the story of an Emirati champion in the world of martial arts (MMA), who defies difficulties after circumstances force him to enter into a strong confrontation with a “mafia network”, through which he enters into conflicts full of excitement and action, and not devoid of human drama.

The events of the series, which is shown by the “Emirates” channel, take place within a framework of professional sports in fighting and conflicts coming from the world of crime, to weave for the viewers a story with integrated elements, its character is strong, and its elements are full of suspense.

Canada Hanna is strong, mysterious, and smart:

In an interview exclusively with “Zahrat Al Khaleej,” the Syrian actress, Canada Hanna, describes her character in the work, which bears the name “Irina,” as a character characterized by strength, mystery, and intelligence. Canada says: “She is a woman with a complex past, and she finds herself involved in a world full of conflicts and challenges, which makes her constantly fluctuate between her heart and mind, and between truth and secrets.”

Canada adds: “Irina” is not a supporting character in the work, but rather an essential and influential element in the development of events. She has a major role in revealing the secrets of a number of the main characters, and she is distinguished by her calm, deep and strong style.

Canada confirms that “Irina” is one of the characters very close to her heart, as she is a strong woman leading a world full of dangers and conflicts, indicating that she was exposed to a turning point in her life, represented by the injury of her brother, after which she began great challenges through which she revealed different aspects of her personality, which combined strength, fear, and responsibility.

Canada goes further in describing “Irina,” saying: “Irina is the head of a mafia network, but at the same time she is a daughter, a sister, and a person who carries complex feelings, especially in her relationship with her father, whose role is embodied by the distinguished artist Abbas Al-Nouri, one of the most important symbols of Arab drama. “It is a relationship full of tension and dramatic depth, and it constitutes a fundamental axis in the development of events.”

Canada goes on to describe “Irina” as – although she appears on the surface to be the owner of a company that manages sporting events – she runs a major activity related to betting and gambling, which puts her in the heart of dangerous and complex conflicts, making her life full of tension.

Special preparations:

Because “Irina” is not an ordinary person, and is exposed to a large number of psychological fluctuations, Canada has prepared for her greatly, especially on the psychological and dramatic aspects.

The famous Syrian actress explained that she worked to understand the character’s internal motivations, before filming began, especially since “Irina” possesses great strength, not only in her authority, but in her human struggles. Canada describes her performance of this character by saying: “I consider this role to be one of the most challenging and enriching roles in my career,” stressing her great pride in this work and her embodiment of the character “Irina,” and that she considers it a valuable addition to her artistic career.

Attractive action:

Canada believes that the “Al-Darbah” series cannot be considered merely a work related to sports, but rather it goes beyond this matter to turn into a human drama filled with excitement, suspense and action. Therefore, it is betting on its ability to attract a wide audience from various parts of the Arab world, especially if the focus is on the characters and conflicts, and not just on the combat movements.

According to the Syrian star, what increases the beauty and integrity of the work is the ability of the production and directing team to bring realism into it, by integrating Arab actors with professional fighters from Georgia and several countries, and the diversity of filming scenes between the Emirates, Syria and Georgia made the work different in all its details, which reflects an advanced production vision, whose goal is to reach the widest segment of the audience in the Arab world, and outside it.
