Zoukak Sidewalks 2016 – The Festival
Zoukak Sidewalks 2016 – The Festival is an artistic encounter gathering artists from different practices and cultural backgrounds. The festival will take place in Beirut between 8 and 15 November 2016, with artists from different countries sharing their works in the fields of theater, dance and music. It seeks to reflect on the artistic act and its relationship to the social and political context, and on breaking down cultural boundaries that have long framed the artist within the national and/or cultural identity, pushing towards the re-definition of contemporary society based on diversity.
“Zoukak Sidewalks 2016 – The Festival” also includes “Focus Liban” running between 11 and 13 November, a platform focusing on the local art scene, with participating artists from different nationalities and backgrounds residing in Lebanon. “Focus Liban” offers this year a support grant enabling 10 artists in the theater, dance, and music field to perform in the presence of international festival and venue directors and producers.
