After the success of the launch, greater international participation is expected in this 2nd edition. Choreographers from numerous Arab countries are invited to present their work, attend lectures, participate in workshops and help foster a network of exchange and collaboration.

Photo Exhibition
Mushrooms and Fig Leaves
Maqamat Dance Theatre
Photos by Rima Maroun
The photographs in the exhibition Mushrooms and Fig Leaves are the outcome of a collaboration between photographer Rima Maroun and Maqamat Dance Theatre Company for an eponymous dance installation that attempted to estrange, alienate and deconstruct the body in order to re-discover it again. Influenced by the creative process of the performance, Rima Maroun re-adopted the photographs within a structure that tends to draw the emotional lines from the performer's body movements into a photographic language.
