Muhammad Qanoua (September 26, 1973 – April 22, 2023)[1] was a Syrian stage and television actor. He was the son of the late artist and radio director Marwan Qanoua. He was best known for his involvement in the comedic series Miraya, in which he acted alongside Syrian actor Yasser al-Azma in numerous episodes. He appeared in multiple Syrian television series, including Bab Al-Hara, Baqa'a Light and Kesr al-Azm. His final roles were in the series Al-Arbaji and Zoqaq al-gen, which were broadcast during Ramadan in April 2023.

Early life

[edit]

His grandfather was a trumpet player, and his uncles (Hashem, Omar, and Ahmad) were theater artists who worked in the Dababees Theater under the group name "Al Akhawyen Qanoua." His father, Marwan Qanoua, who served as director of the radio station. He was also one of the founding members of the Artists' Syndicate. Muhammad began his professional collaboration with his father at the radio station when he was still a fourth-grade student, a partnership that continued until 2014. He officially joined the Syrian Artists Syndicate on March 3, 1998.[2]

His start can be considered when Yasser al-Azma selected him to participate in the Maraya series. He subsequently engaged in commercial advertising for a period of time.[3] Over the course of his career, he presented nearly 140 series, encompassing a range of genres including drama, comedy, and tragedy. Additionally, he participated in one film, titled "Out of Coverage," released in 2007.[2]

On June 25, 2022, the Lebanese journalist Rabaa al-Zayyat conducted an interview with Mohammed Qanoua on the program "Shaw al-Qasasa." During the course of the interview, Qanoua made a number of statements that were met with surprise by his audience. He asserted that he does not possess a considerable fortune and that he does not own a residence in Damascus or in any other location. He explained that he was determined to provide his family with a comfortable lifestyle and to ensure that his children have the opportunity to receive an excellent education. He articulated his disapproval of performing bold and indecent scenes and expressed pride in his wife and daughters' adherence to the hijab and their commitment to the customs and traditions of a conservative Eastern society.[4] He also rejected the legitimacy of civil marriage and his daughter's marriage to a person of a different religion. He expressed staunch opposition to the promotion of homosexuality and lesbianism.[5]

His daughter, Masa, began her acting career at a young age, appearing alongside him in numerous series, most notably Girls of the Family. As she matured, she opted to emulate her mother's example by donning the hijab and retiring from the acting profession. Mohammed Qanoua asserted that the practice of wearing the hijab and pursuing a career in acting are incompatible, and expressed his hope that his daughter would instead embark on a career in directing.[4]

Personal life

[edit]

He married a woman from outside the artistic community, with whom he had four children: Adnan, Marwan, Maya, and Masa.[6]

Death

[edit]

Qanoua died of a sudden myocardial infarction on April 22, 2023, at the age of 49. Local media sources indicated that he died following a cardiac catheterization procedure.[1][7][8] His funeral was conducted at Dar al-Shifa Hospital in Damascus, and his remains were interred at Mezzeh Cemetery.[6]

The Syrian Artists Syndicate issued a statement on its Facebook page mourning the death of Muhammad Qanoua: "The Syndicate of Artists in the Syrian Arab Republic extends its deepest sympathies to the family, colleagues, and loved ones of the late Muhammad Qanoua. May the soul of our departed colleague rest in peace, and may we find solace and strength in this difficult time."[9]
