PERFORM SHARJAH
27 OCT 2024 - 5 JAN 2025
Perform Sharjah returns for its third season with a new series of performances, running from late October 2024 until early January 2025. The programme seeks to create spaces of encounter between the local public and contemporary artists from the region and beyond.
Sharjah is known for its active theatre scene. In addition to its numerous local theatre festivals, theatre companies and organisations, the emirate is now also home to the Sharjah Performing Arts Academy, considered the first of its kind in the region. In its third season, Perform Sharjah engages with local actors and dancers by creating opportunities for collaboration with other artists from the region, while continuing to introduce audiences in Sharjah to new and extraordinary productions from around the world.
