Koon Theater
Syria,Lebanon
Performing Arts
A group of multi-skilled artists of different nationalities who have established an experimental space as a platform for communication between artists, aiming to empower them, develop and experiment with the performer’s tools, in order to qualify a multi-skilled performer and share their experiences with amateurs and professional artists through training and workshops. The group also works on breaking the traditional theater space, bringing performances to the streets and alternative venues to create new artistic spaces that foster a civic and artistic dialogue, making theater a social act that engages everyone, rather than being exclusive to the elite.
