Mark your calendars for an exceptional end of summer event!

Within the framework of All Around Culture and with the support of Culture Resource and the European Union, The Network for Cultural Outreach is thrilled to announce that our third tour will be taking place across Mtein, Mrouj, Fraykeh, and Cornet Chahwan, from September 21 to September 24!

Every day will feature different performances, so you can register for the full program, full day or choose the ones you'd like to attend!

*NCO’s purpose is to decentralize culture, providing artists and technicians with work opportunities around the year and bringing arts to audiences in these regions, outside of Beirut.

// ABOUT THE PERFORMANCES

• The ClownVentures, presented by Clown Me In, starts with 6 clowns planning a road trip and going on a bus driven by a clown. And exactly as it sounds, it ends up being the most disastrous road trip ever. Disastrous but fun. The Clown Me In team brings a show full of joy, magic, and laughter. Through crowd interaction and silly skits, the clowns find truth and humanity.
  
  
• Before You Go, presented by Yaraqa, is a walkable trail of contemporary dance performances, playing on the experience of feeling estranged in the familiar, and finding the familiar in the estranged. 10 artists from Lebanon & Europe will guide audiences on a journey through Mtein & Cornet Chehwan, where common spaces transform into an open field of possibilities.
  
  
• Al Aadiloun, presented by YAZAN, is an adapted theater performance from Les Justes by Albert Camus. This play follows radical revolutionaries who are planning the assassination of a despotic leader while being subjected to doubt, love and ultimate faith in their cause. There will also be two concerts.
