What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's foundation gives it particular depth: ASHTAR Theatre, founded by Edward Muallem and Iman Aoun, was the first theatre training organization for youth in Palestine, and the festival extends that mission by bringing local and international youth and children's theatre groups to Ramallah specifically, rather than adult professional companies

02

The mystery stays covered

Performap's festival database classifies it as a biennial, international youth and children's theatre event held each July, and its scheduled, multi-edition run since at least 2012 gives it unusually well-documented continuity compared to many Palestinian arts festivals
