MOUSSEM CITIES: BEIRUT

Festival

Shelter and transit

With an annually recurring city cycle, Moussem’s Nomadic Arts Centre offers an insight into contemporary Arab societies and the dynamic of their cities. Every year, an Arab city is a guest in the capital of Europe. From 2017 onwards, Kaaitheater will be a permanent partner for the performing arts section of this festival.

From 2 to 18 February 2017, the Lebanese capital Beirut will be firmly in the spotlight. Beirut is one of the Middle East’s most heterogeneous and diverse cities. It is a fascinating place, full of tensions and constantly in motion, as for years it has been a place of shelter and transit for refugees from the region. Palestinians, Iraqis and Syrians are of course an integral part of both Lebanese society and the arts scene. This dynamic scene may still be suffering from censorship, but it does make Beirut an important centre for art. Over the course of this ten-day festival, guest artists, relevant thinkers and cultural players tell the story of their city through their work.
