Beirut Choreography Encounters - Opening Night
Beirut Choreography Encounters - Opening Night
Beirut vibrates to uncertain rhythms, oscillating between tragedies and hopeful beginnings. These vibrations run through our streets, crack our walls, strengthen our souls, and affect our bodies. At every vibration, we respond: inhale, exhale, move, and dance.
Beirut Choreography Encounters is a contemporary dance festival that invites you to move with the rhythms of Beirut, filling the city with art and movement. A diverse group of artists will create lasting vibrations by sharing their work and performances throughout the city’s streets.
Across three days — 31 October, 1 and 2 November 2025 — artists from Lebanon, Syria, Greece, Spain, Japan, and the USA will share performances, conduct workshops, and participate in panel discussions.
