Festival of Contemporary Arab Culture
Festival of Contemporary Arab Culture
Jaffa Theatre's unique Festival of Contemporary Arab Culture presents the Israeli public with a taste of the flourishing Arab culture, theatre, film, music and dance throughout the Middle East. The special accomplishment of the festival is exposing wide audiences to unfamiliar Arabic culture, often breaking stereotypes. Audiences are fascinated to discover playwrights from countries such as Lebanon and Iraq. The festival receives wide media coverage both printed and electronic, television and radio programs. Shows are full to capacity on the days of the festival. Especially at this time of growing racism, intolerance, extremism, the festival brings together Jews and Arabs on stage and in the audience allowing all to appreciate the Middle East's rich culture.
