Detailed program available as visual within this post!
________________________________________
*ABOUT THE PERFORMANCES*
- The ClownVentures, presented by Clown Me In, starts with 6 clowns planning a road trip and going on a bus driven by a clown. And exactly as it sounds, it ends up being the most disastrous road trip ever. Disastrous but fun. The Clown Me In team brings a show full of joy, magic, and laughter. Through crowd interaction and silly skits, the clowns find truth and humanity.
- Before You Go, presented by Yaraqa, is a walkable trail of contemporary dance performances, playing on the experience of feeling estranged in the familiar, and finding the familiar in the estranged. 10 artists from Lebanon & Europe will guide audiences on a journey through Mtein & Cornet Chehwan, where common spaces transform into an open field of possibilities.
- Al Aadiloun, presented by YAZAN, is an adapted theater performance from Les Justes by Albert Camus. This play follows radical revolutionaries who are planning the assassination of a despotic leader while being subjected to doubt, love and ultimate faith in their cause. There will also be two concerts.
