When theatre and culture bring a territory to life: Nathalie Khawaja on Mawassem

MOOVTOO: Theatre in Lebanon has a vibrant scene, yet it still struggles to get the visibility it deserves. Why do you think that is?

Mawassem aims to move beyond Beirut’s “dominance” in the theatre field. How can you ensure that the regions become more than just places where Beirut-based productions are performed?

How has the community in Ehden responded to Mawassem? Has their feedback influenced the way you are shaping this first edition?

Which local actors in Ehden are concretely involved in Mawassem, and in what ways?

Did you have to transform a venue that was not originally designed to host professional theatre performances?

After several months of preparing Mawassem in Ehden, what unexpected challenge have you encountered, that you probably would not have faced in Beirut?

Who do you hope to attract to Mawassem in Ehden? And can the initiative encourage people to discover the region through theatre?

Once this first edition is over, how will you assess its success?
