Excerpt: The opening also saw a performance by Egypt’s Al-Darb Al-Ahmar Art School, an initiative founded in 2011 by l-Mawred Al-Thaqafy (The Culture Resource) with support from the Aga Khan Trust for Culture and Al-Fanar Foundation. The school aims to teach circus arts and music to students ranging from ages eight to 16 as well as providing health and social care to its students.
A large group of students from Al-Darb Al-Ahmar Arts School presented their acrobatic skills in front of a packed crowd in the gallery of Hanager Theatre. Performers were accompanied by their colleagues on percussion. The show was planned to take place outdoors, yet rain forced the organisers to move it indoors.
