She chooses to work on controversial topics that reflect the society’s mal functions as she sees it, daring to question inherited beliefs and norms with wit and style.

Khoury’s influence is felt throughout Lebanese contemporary theatre [3] through her adoption of ground breaking view points, and management of talents as Gabriel Yammine, Roula Hmade, Rita Hayek, Talal El Jourdi, Diamand Bou Aboud, Patricia Namour, Elie Mitri, Nada Abou Farhat, Tarek Tamim, Alain Saadeh, Anjo Rihan, and the renowned Ziad Al Rahbani.

It was inspired by Eve Ensler’s Vagina Monologues and was a pioneer play that tackled taboo subjects in the Lebanese society and the Arab World, mainly those of women's issues and sexual freedom.

Khoury chose to stage this social political tragi-comedy to shed light on the situation of acceptance and numbness of the Lebanese society.

The play delved into the hidden world of men and related for the first time in Lebanon and the Mena region stories of oppressed men, in a society that is well trenched in masculinity and where women are oppressed and face discrimination on multiple levels[10] In 2023, Khoury directed “Behind the Curtains-Waraa Al Sitar”, commissioned by Seenaryo, where she met youth from Tripoli and Akkar, wrote down their stories about the many sides of violence that they encounter, trained them to perform it, raise awareness and break the secrecy that engulfs this horrendous scourge.

In 2024, Khoury truly raised the bar of the theatrical scene in the MENA region by masterfully directing and producing Physia w 3asal, an adaptation from the award winning play Constellations by Nick Payne.
