The Jordan Theater Festival runs until Tuesday, so if you missed the first week, you still have five plays to catch. It seems Monday is a day for intellectual discussions; with talks taking place at Shoman, Cervantes, and Muhtaraf Rimal. On Tuesday, Darat Al-Funun explores new trends in Egyptian cinema with an interesting series that runs till the end of the year.
You also have great live music options this week – from experimental electronics and live visuals by Blouzaat and EP at Blue Fig, to jazz by Chapter 11 at Canvas, to live acoustic music by El Far3i (featuring Shadi Zaqatan from Ramallah) at LOFT. Bait El Ruwwad group continues to play great modern classical Arabic music every wednesday at their beautiful venue in Beit El Shi’r.
It might be a short week because of the Eid holiday, but it’s not short on fun events and things to do. Your weekly 7iber round up:
