The story

Jordan Children's Festival in Amman

The Jordanian Children's Theater Festival at Amman's Royal Cultural Center presents roughly five days of stage productions for young audiences, including puppetry and shadow theater by directors such as Fadia Abu Ghoush, alongside an exhibition documenting the history of children's theater in Jordan across nearly two decades of editions.

The Royal Cultural Center in Amman hosted the nineteenth edition of the Jordanian Children's Theater Festival, dedicating that run to the late director Samir Al-Khawalda and unfolding across five days of performances aimed squarely at young audiences, a numbering that signals close to two decades of consistent programming behind this specific edition alone.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival pairs its live program with a standing exhibition hall inside the Royal Cultural Center showing puppets, marionettes and shadow-theater screens from past productions, giving it an archival dimension most children's theater festivals lack, and each edition is dedicated to a past figure in Jordanian children's theater, such as the late director Samir Al-Khawalda, tying current young performers directly to that lineage rather than presenting new work in isolation from what came before it
