Performing Arts
Zoukak is a non-hierarchical structure founded in 2006. It is dedicated to theatre practice as a social and political involvement, with a belief in theatre as a space for common reflection and in collectivity as a position against marginalizing systems. Through its artistic creations, Zoukak tackles topics that question the ambient status-quos, structuring its creation processes around cycles of research over themes such as gender and sexuality, history, power and religion, death and immortality, childhood and violence.
Zoukak is committed to applying theatre in the fields of social engagement, therapy and education. It developed a specific approach to psychosocial interventions of drama therapy, providing workshops and training programs to diverse groups across Lebanon and abroad.
Zoukak aims to develop an environment of dialogue and reflection around the performing arts in Lebanon and to provide artistic opportunities for local artists, curating since 2013 "Zoukak Sidewalks - the Festival", an international platform for performing arts and "Focus Liban", a platform that aims at disseminating the work of local artists.
Zoukak received the Praemium Imperiale Grant for Young Artists from the Japan Arts Association and the Chirac Foundation Award of Culture for Peace among other global awards.
